#ShiptoSip with Steller’s Jay

The grapes in this sparkling rosé are harvested a full month earlier than when harvested as a red wine. An early harvest is essential in order to get that signature crisp, refreshing acidity and bright citrus flavours.

TASTING NOTES

This sparkling rosé first catches your eye with its pale pink colour and persistent mousse. Fresh strawberry and cream aromas are complemented by subtle notes of raspberry and ruby red grapefruit. Strawberry and raspberry flavours dance on the palate, with a crisp acidity balancing the sweet field fruit. A velvety texture coats the mouth, with fine bubbles providing a clean and long finish.

70% Gamay Noir, 30% Merlot
