Peller Estates Ice Cuvée Rosé VQA with Gift Box

WINE MAKING
A traditional ‘méthode’ sparkling wine made with hand-picked, whole-cluster pressed and fractioned grapes. The base wine assemblage consists of Pinot Noir (59%), Chardonnay (29%), Gamay Noir (8%), and Pinot Meunier (4%), all aged in stainless steel just before tirage. After 12 to 14 months on lees the wine is disgorged, and a 90ml dosage of Vidal Icewine is added. Enhanced by the burst of flavour from Vidal Icewine and the bright berry character of the Gamay Noir, we have a sparkling wine of unique style and finesse.
FLAVOUR PROFILE
Very fine bubbles rise gently against a delicate pink backdrop. A lovely, clean, fresh bouquet of apricot, wild raspberry, melon, and Rainier cherry. Medium-bodied and flavourful. This dry-ish sparkling wine has an up-front creamy mouthfeel with an elegant mousse, and flavours of raspberry and juicy white peach. The refreshingly crisp finish shows exciting notes of cranberry and white currant.
