Subtle aromas of strawberry, raspberry, and a touch of citrus fill the glass of the Effervescent Rosé. The entry has a slight spritz from the residual CO2 of fermentation. The palate consists of pomegranate, blood orange, and hint of Anjou pear.
Enjoy as an apéritif or pair with oysters, ceviche, salmon, and gazpacho!
