Fitz Reserve Sparkling Rosé 2014

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaWhen you begin with 36 months ageing on the lees you have our attention. The 2014 vintage was a very good growing season at Fitz and the result is a rich, complex sparkling rose with made with 100 percent pinot noir grapes from Greata Ranch Vineyard. The techniques are all method champenoise to ensure only the most refined flavours. Expect an elegant style with a fine bead, a refined citrus, rhubarb aromas and flavours flecked with stony, salty brioche notes. An impressive start and wine that will improve in the bottle another three to five years. Perfect with smoke salmon, lemon bits and green onions on cream cheese on crackers.Tasted: 30 July 2018Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
