Blue Mountain Brut Rosé R.D. Méthode Traditionelle 2014
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe rush to rosé has invaded the sparkling wine market but fortunately this wine remains true to its origins. The mix is 68/32 pinot noir/chardonnay. It’s whole cluster pressed and fermented in stainless steel. The ageing sur lie lasts about 30 months prior to disgorgement, in this case, August 2016, and then left another year in bottle. The residual sugar at 10 grams per litre will appeal to those who prefer their rosé round and soft. Expect an off-dry palate featuring strawberries and cherries with a twist of rhubarb. There is plenty of acidity to offset the RS and keep this fresh and on track. It has the structure to work with bigger dishes like duck, pork, or a favourited root vegetable dish. At this time of the year it also shows well alongside an oven-roasted turkey.Tasted: 29 October 2018Tasted by: Prices:| BC | $32.90 | 750ml | winery direct, private retail, restaurants |
