40 Knots Spindrift Soleil Rosé Brut 2011
Comox Valley, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, CanadaSpindrift Soleil Rosé has that appealing eye of the partridge colour that stems from using maréchal foch to tint the colour pink. The wine itself mixes pinot noir, chardonnay and pinot gris in a super dry style punctuated by light strawberry, toast and fresh cut green apples. Like the Brut its tart and food is what it really needs to shine. A raw seafood would be just the ticket. Here. It can be foamy upon opening.Tasted: 24 February 2015Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:BC | $30.00 | 750ml | winery direct or private wine stores |
