Blue Barrel bottle

Blue Barrel

Brut Reserve Rosé, 2022

+$13.99 750 ml

This light and lively rosé gets its subtle pink hue from the inclusion of Pinot Noir, a classic grape of French Champagne. Fermenting with the traditional Methode Champensionse creates a sophisticated wine with fine, persistent bubbles.

Profile

This light pink wine brings flavors of white cherry, strawberry and rose water. The fruit has a delicate quality on the nose, which persists through the palate. On the finish, find rich flavors of cherry marmalade, bright citrus, and a hint of watermelon.

Pairing

The addition of Pinot Noir brings subtle red fruit flavors to this pretty wine. It's delicate enough to enjoy on its own, but complex enough to pair with a full dinner. Try the Blue Barrel Brut Reserve Rosé with fried chicken, grilled pork with cherries, or light Mexican-inspired fare.

TASTING TIP

Sparkling wine should be served chilled. Before serving, place the bottle in the refrigerator for about 2 hours to reach a temperature between 45°F- 50°F. This will help bring out the best flavors, and will also make the wine easier to open. Temperature and pressure are directly proportional, so chilling the wine will reduce the pressure on the cork.
