Ata Rangi Rosé Brut

Introducing the first ever sparkling wine from Ata Rangi! This sparkling cuvée was conceived in the late hours of the cool, tempestuous 2023 season. A parcel of Pinot Noir that did not want to sit through another rain shower! Hues of peach and salmon in the glass, the nose opens to wonderful delicate aromas of peach, baked apple and fresh raspberry notes. The scrumptious palate of wild strawberry and cream is augmented by the fine mousse releasing shortbread flavours that leads to a refreshing, refined and salivating finish. Delicious and dry.

Hand-picked Pinot Noir was whole bunch pressed; the juice was fermented in neutral oak on full lees and aged for 11 months. The second fermentation which produces the bubbles was done in a pressurised tank, this method is known as the Charmat method and was invented and patented in 1895 by an Italian named Federico Martinotti, a winemaker in Asti – Italy. This method is how Prosecco and many sparkling wines around the world are made.

This special bubbles from a special wine maker should be served with cold smoked salmon with some of your special friends and family.
