Aged 18 months on the lees in bottle, like Champagne, to ensure the delicate, fine bubbles that are the hallmark of a great sparkler. Copious aromas of mulberries, cherries and strawberries jump from the glass of this tart, crisp, elegant, citrusy, dry sparkling wine.

“The dark-pink hue of this wine promises body and fruit, which duly appear on the creamy palate. Mellow strawberry and apple pair with gentle freshness. A chalky texture supports the frothy foam while freshness highlights the dry roundness of the finish.” WE

“Light salmon pink color; round and fresh with tangy strawberry fruit, all Pinot Noir and smooth and charming; ripe, creamy and lively, balanced, long and tangy.” TP


Or reply. The wine will be available Wednesday in Chapel Hill. Friday, as ordered, in Hillsborough.
