I picked up this lovely @hattingleywines last September’s visit with @abvtastings (see past post).

𝐻𝒶𝓉𝓉𝒾𝓃𝑔𝓁𝑒𝓎 𝑅𝑜𝓈é 𝟤𝟢𝟣𝟫

A blend of Pinot Noir 58% Pinot Meunier 38% fermented in 4 year old Burgundy barrels, Pinot Précoce 4% (vinifiés as a still red to add color and texture) with 2 years sur lie.

🥂Palest of pale rose gold color in the glass amplified by the exuberant bubbles. The fresh aromas of red berries are abundant along with pink grapefruit, herbal tarragon notes, minerals, bread dough and shortbread. The first sip tingles with the anticipation of classic English zingy acidity and creamy mouthfeel. Fresh and festive raspberry, strawberry, pomegranate, cherry and cranberry, pink grapefruit juice, red apple, earthy hay, buttery shortbread and tangy yogurt and pastry cream finish.

After all, spring temperatures and an impressive pink fizz brings an extra big smile 💕

Do you have a favorite pink bubbly?
