Winemaker Notes
The color is rather intense salmon with plenty of tiny and vivacious bubbles. Quite extravagant on the nose, developed and mature as one might expect from an almost ten year old sparkling. You will find notes of hay, dried herbs, flowers - almost like being on the lawn in the summer, some noble wood, balsamic and yeasty notes. Dry on the palate, vibrant, medium bodied, with intense character and touch of tannic grip. This is certainly not a classic aperitif-style sparkler but one that goes nicely with warm first courses and fish. In top condition.

• Unfined.
• Unfiltered.
• No added sulphites.

Critical Acclaim
90 Wine & Spirits
Ales Kristancic’s sparkling rosé will appeal to pét-nat fans looking for examples with body and heft. He macerates the pinot noir grapes for one day to pick up a light salmon color, then ages the wine in barriques for four years. To gain the effervescence, he adds fresh grape must (no sugar, commercial yeasts or sulfur) at bottling, and does not disgorge the wine, leaving the yeast in the bottle as a natural preservative. The wine has a rich texture yet is bone dry, with hints of strawberry, blood orange and cider seeping through flavors of cherry tomato and white truffle.
