What is Sparkling Rosé?

• Pink, Bubbly, and Versatile: Sparkling rosé is rosé wine with bubbles, ranging from pale salmon hues to deeper pinks.
• Global Production: Crafted across the world, from French Champagne and Italian Prosecco to Tasmanian and New Zealand expressions.
• Grapes: Commonly made from Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Pinot Meunier, or blends of red and white grapes.

How is Sparkling Rosé Made?

• Colour Extraction: A short maceration period allows red grape skins to impart colour and flavour before being removed.
• Bubbles: Created by secondary fermentation:
  • Tank Method (Charmat): Fermentation in large pressurised tanks, typical for Prosecco Rosé.
  • Traditional Method: Fermentation inside the bottle, delivering finer bubbles and more complexity.

• Aromas: Fresh red berries, watermelon, citrus, delicate florals, with brioche or creamy notes if aged on lees.
