Veuve du Vernay Brut Rosé (75cl, 11.5%)

A French sparkling rosé produced by the House of Patriarche in Beaune, Burgundy, using the Charmat method. The brand traces its lineage to Robert Charmat, son of Eugène Charmat, who patented the Charmat method. The rosé blends Shiraz, Pinot Noir, Cinsaut and Grenache, with secondary fermentation in sealed tanks. The nose opens with raspberry, ripe red berries, rose petal, apricot, floral and citrus notes. The palate is crisp with raspberry, strawberry, cherry, peach and creaminess, with smooth velvety bubbles. The finish is medium with redcurrant, blackcurrant and crispness.
