Wine Description
In a big family like ours, singing is something we can always agree about. Our Serenade Sparkling range tells the story of three classy sister, Cath, Laura (my grandmother) and Mary Starrs who shared this love of music with us. Just like a bottle of wine shared, each song can be linked to an event in our life and the special memories and feelings it brings. Sing like no one is listening.
This single vineyard and estate grown Sparkling Rose is medium salmon pink in colour and sweet raspberry, watermelon and citrus peel aromas. Bright and elegantly lifted with sweet raspberry, strawberry and watermelon flavours. Like a serve of straberries and cream, it's juicy and creamy in the mouth delivering lovely weight and fine flow. Crisp, dry and delightfully refreshing. Drink it fresh and well chilled.
Grapes are crushed and held in press for 4 hours to extract colour and flavour then pressed and cold settled. Fermented slowly with 2% solids at cool temperatures to provide structure and mouth feel on the palate. The wine is then bottled and set into secondary ferment to produce a Methode Traditionelle Rose Sparkling. Post fermentation and tirage, this sparkling wine is aged for a further 6 months before release.
