Cuvée d'Élevage Sparkling Rosé NV
COLOUR
A very delicate pale coral hue.
NOSE
Limes with spice and subtle raspberry overlayed with fresh, clean autolysis characters.
PALATE
Rich soft and generous with a seamless lingering balanced fine acidity. The palate has flavours of subtle watermelon and a delicate bouquet of red fruits and cherry.
WINEMAKING
Sourced from Merlot on the Wills Domain vineyard, this fruit was picked in the cool of the morning and immediately whole bunch pressed to minimize the pick-up colour and phenolics. Following settling the juice was racked and fermented with Zymaflore Spark, a yeast which is ideal for Sparkling base wines. The juice was fermented cool on a low level of solids, bentonite fined and cold stabilized after fermentation before being tiraged.
