Wine Review: This coral colored Sparkling Wine from Goldeneye opens with plenty of small to medium sized streaming bubbles. It opens with a blood orange and bread dough bouquet with a hint of strawberry. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied, nicely acidic and zesty. The flavor profile is a mineral infused lemon and bread dough with notes of orange. The finish is dry and refreshing. I would pair this sparkler with sushi. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: This dazzling Brut Rose offers vibrant aromas of orange marmalade and biscuits, with hints of wild strawberry and ripe cherry. An electric undercurrent of racy acidity adds poise and dimension to this plush, richly textured sparkler, while bright fruit flavors and hints of baking spice, lemon zest and freshly-baked brioche dance across the palate.
