The Careme Fizzy Pink is a more simple, fun wine than the Ancestrale – perfect for spring picnics. Vincent normally only makes it for local consumption, from their cellar door or in the nearby city of Tours – it’s never been exported – but we convinced him to let us buy a little. It’s right up our alley for uncomplicated, easy drinking sparkling wines.
As the name implies it is a deep pink wine made from Côt (the local name for Malbec), Cabernet Franc, Gamay, Grolleau Noir and Gamay de Bouze (a teinturier grape variety that has red juice). It has just 2 grams of residual sugar.
The vineyard from which the grapes are harvested (by hand) have soils of gravel and sand and the yield from the harvest was 40 litres per hectare.
This is a delicious drink that you can sit back and enjoy at any time of the day or night! – Suppliers notes
