Boschendal Sparkling Rose
ABV 12%
Launched in December 2008, Le Grande Pavillon Brut Rosé is Boschendal’s first Rosé Méthode Cap Classique.
A variety of red cultivars were selected from Boschendal’s finest vineyards and harvested at lower sugar levels to achieve the bracing freshness required for the making of the base wine for a fine Méthode Cap Classique.
After pressing the red grapes, the juice was bled from the grapes immediately and blended with 15% Chardonnay, resulting in the unique sunset-salmon hue of the base wine.
The base wine was bottled under crown-cap where it underwent secondary fermentation, spending 12 months on the lees before disgorgement.
The lees contact allowed the wine to grow in complexity, adding depth and a pronounced fruit structure, as well as a seductive brisk sparkle.
Exceptionally pleasing on the eye as well as the palate, Le Grande Pavillon Brut Rosé sparkles with versatility, making it ideal for enjoying on its own or in a bubbly and alfresco environment along with seafood, summer salads and chicken dishes.
