Reviews
"This naturally sparkling rosé, made from white and red Muscat Petit Grains, charms with its pale salmon hue and aromas of rose water, jasmine, and lychee. Gently sweet (50 g/L of residual sugar) yet well balanced (8% ABV), it offers a fresh, floral, and airy palate. A wine of charm and indulgence, perfectly suited to Asian cuisine - especially pad thai, green curry, or exotic fruit desserts." [+]
