2020 Waipiti Sparkling Rosé

Waipiti Sparkling Rosé Wine Lake County

This delicious sparkling checks all the boxes, starting with the visual appeal of the lovely salmon color and the persistent tiny bubbles. The unique Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon rosé blend adds depth and finesse to the seductive aromas of Queen Anne cherry and black raspberry laced with hints of toasted brioche. On the palate, bright, fine acidity showcases refreshing flavors of Rainer cherry, blackberry and black currant, along with traces of ginger and key lime. A weightier mouthfeel and long luscious finish reflect the influence of the red grapes.

Ahi tuna sashimi or beef carpaccio would be an ideal pairing with this sparkling, as would duck liver pâté with blackberry conserva.
