Roederer Estate Rose Anderson Valley – Sparkling

”the roederer estate rose is a blend of pinot noir and chardonnay. For color the winemaker prepares a small portion of pinot noir wine with extended maceration and adds about three to five percent to the blend before secondary fermentation imparting a subtle salmon tinge. Both the blend and addition of the small amount of red wine create a charming wine of discreet finesse. Tasting notes the roederer estate brut rose is full and round with smooth flavors and fine persistent bubbles. The extra measure of chardonnay contributes elegance and austerity which balance nicely with the delicate fruitiness of the pinot noir.”- roederer estate
