We call this our party pet nat, which is kind of lame, but kind of accurate.
This resulted from the power of 20% Chardonnay we used to add to the mix. Now however we are going the 100% Dolcetto route, because after changing vineyards a couple of years ago the brambly nectarine gold of the Dolcetto was too great to mess with! So, now, it is still very much a delightful bubbly quaffer but it just has that little savoury edge to make this the full package.
This is a sparkling rosé that’s as fresh as swimming in the ocean once you get past your belly button but serious enough to be that little bit Dame Judy Dench: saline, fruity and more than a little bit sexy.
