CUVÉE BRUT SPARKLING ROSÉ Traditional method, VQA Niagara Peninsula, Ontario |
Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
13TH STREET |
Bright light reddish strawberry colour. Very spicy, ripe plum-apple purée nose with some faintly reductive peppery apple notes. Fairly dry, medium bodied, quite well structured, fairly intense, plum-strawberry-apple flavours with a lingering, effervescent, slightly spicy, honeyed, crisp finish. This REPEAT blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay has 12.5% alcohol and 8 g/L residual sugar. Last appeared in Vintages (***) on April 1, 2015 at $24.95 and was Recommended. |

TASTING NOTE: The latest addition of the 13th Street Rosé NV is in the similar house style, which is to say deeply coloured, more of a light red with bubbles, and notably ripe, even lightly dried/oxidative red fruit with an autumnal character. This is substantial sparkling wine to be sure, with fine length and depth, one I'd serve at the table rather than as an aperitif. Try with veal scaloppini, roast chicken with lemon and herbs, or even duck breast with cherry gastrique. Score - 90 (John Szabo, MS, winealign.com, March 13, 2017) |
