Wine Review: This traditional Sparkling Rose is a great example of how far along the Finger Lakes AVA has come since its recognition in 1982. This wine is crisp and inviting while still managing to encapsulate tropical notes of passion and starfruit. Its rose gold color is a great indicator that the wine should be paired with salmon and similarly flavored seafood. – Nicolay

Winemaker Notes: Light salmon in color, the wine leads with ripe strawberry, passion fruit, and pineapple. Methode Champenoise adds aromas of bread and toast. The taste is crisp and clean. The high acidity balances the sweetness perfectly, seemingly light in body. The flavors are persistent, finishing with honeycrisp apple. Pair with spicy Asian cuisine, sushi or grilled salmon.
