L'Ormarins Brut Classique Rosé NV
Western Cape, South AfricaFrom Anthonij Rupert’s sparkling cellar, La Garonne, in Franschhoek, where the L’Ormarins farm has winemaking history back to the 17th century. This MCC blends 60% pinot noir with 40% chardonnay, with fruit coming mainly from L'Ormarins farm, but also from Overberg, Darling, and Robertson. Tight and nimble, with a buzzy cranberry acidity floating wild strawberry, cherry, and grapefruit pith over a slight pillow of lees to cushion. The finish is snappy and citrus bright, welcoming salmon canapés.Tasted: 05 February 2022Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:BC | $32.00 | 750ml | private wine shops |
