Description

At Quinta do Rol, you will encounter cool summer afternoons without extreme temperatures which favours the grapes and their expression allowing for complex, fresh, light and delicate sparkling wines with a pronounced character.
This Sparkling Wine Rosé is elaborated through the classic method with the 2nd fermentation in the bottle and a period of aging “sur lies” in the wine cellar for duration of 18 months.
The “remouge” was manual and done in the traditional manner and, during the “dégorgement”, expedition liquor was not added, originating in an extra brut sparkling wine.
It is pink, very delicate in aroma, mixing notes of vegetables, berries and biscuits.
On the palate it is refined and persistent, well structured with a long dry and fresh ending.

It should be served chilled, accompanied by appetizers, salads, fish and seafood.
