The wine's aroma, delivered on a delicate mousse, hints at wild strawberry, ripe peach, apricot, pomegranate, honeysuckle and exotic spices. Despite its colour, it is a true Brut - as dry as our other wines. And while Domaine Carneros Brut Rose is delicious at a young age, it will also gain wonderful complexity with aging.
VINEYARDS: Traditionally, fine Rose Sparkling Wine shave been made in very small quantities - and this is no exception. Grapes are carefully selected to showcase the great fruitiness of the region's Pinot Noir.
VINTAGE: Due to the warm weather in February, we had early bud break this year and, therefore, an early harvest. As is typical, we had three phases of harvest: • First phase was the harvesting of Sparkling Pinot Noir beginning July 31 and ending August 7. • Second phase was harvesting Sparkling Chardonnay from August 10 to August 17. • Third phase of harvest was Still Pinot Noir from August 16 until September 12. Our 2015 harvest yield was slightly less than the last five harvests. Uneven and cool temperatures led to an incredibly long period of flowering, which contributed to a decrease in cluster counts and smaller berries. It’s hard to judge the quality of the vintage, but when looking ahead of what we have, we are excited. At the end of the day, we love the way the wines are tasting. We got a nice range of flavours in the Pinot Noir and Chardonnay cuvees. And, on the still wine side, the colours are deep and saturated.
WINEMAKING:To capture the wine's special fruit character, some of the Pinot Noir juice is allowed several days' contact with the grape skins to extract colour and flavour.
