Sparkling Cinsault Rosé
Tasting notes
Cinsault is a widely grown Southern Rhone red grape. This has aromas of wild strawberry and cream, and rose petals with flavors of ripe raspberries. The palate is refreshing and full of watermelon, orange zest and gentle acidity, framed with subtle white pepper spice.
Rava sparkling wines are crafted using time-honored méthode champenoise techniques. The cuvée, or base wine for this sparkler consists of 100% CInsault, which was soaked on the skins creating this delicate pink hue, prior to gentle pressing. The cuvée, along with a mixture of sugar, yeast and nutrients, was bottled after an extended aging en tirage.
It’s an ideal sipper for sunny days and pairs wonderfully with light cheese, charcuterie, fresh seafood, brunch, and summery salads.
