Description

Domaine des Dieux Rose of Sharon Cap Classique 2013

Grape Varietals & Region: 60% Pinot Noir & 40% Chardonnay

Taste Profile: Strawberry, black cherry, raspberry notes jump out of the glass with a hint of rose water in the background. The mousse is fine, and soft, with a rich, generous attack developing beautifully in the mouth into a clean, dry finish. Tantalising balance and generosity of fruit make this a great apéritif and food wine.

Winemaking Process: Using the saignée method to achieve color, the juice is blend off from the press during extraction. The base wines are then cool fermented in steel vats to preserve their delicate fruit flavours followed by 72 months bottle ageing on its lees

Berries & Cream Sparklings

Red fruit and bubbles, ranging from light and fruity pink Moscato, to vintage rosé Champagne and sparkling Shiraz

Methode Champenoise

The key element of the traditional method is secondary fermentation in the bottle, often achieved by adding a liqueur de tirage to the base wine. The end result is a soft, fine bubly mouthfeel
