2020 Chartley Estate Sparkling Rose

Mouthfilling strawberry and raspberry fruits with a dry, chalky finish.

A blend of 60% Pinot Noir and 40% Chardonnay aged for 3 years on lees. A fine plentiful mousse slowly fades into a salmon pink coloured base that has a very fine and persistent bead flowing through it. Nosing reveals yeast lees and chalky mineral scents intermingling with delicate winter strawberry and citrus notes. More open than the nose, the palate features mouth filling strawberry and raspberry fruits over a back drop of toast, yeast lees and chalky mineral elements. Vivid acidity counterpoints a creamy like mouth feel. Finishes dry, long and chalky.
Drink over the next 5-6 years.
