Croser Sparkling Rosé

Rosé usually sits on its skins or receives a dose of red wine, but the only colour here is the pale salmon-peach hue picked up from whole bunch pressing of Piccadilly Valley pinot noir. The result is a fresh, elegant style with attractive strawberry hull and red cherry fruit. Three years on lees has made for a creamy finish. $34 at Club Wine Direct and direct from Petaluma.
