Pepik Rose, Josef Chromy



Pink bubbles. They can be quite the divider for people and to be honest I blame the  huge mega-corporations and their industrial battery farming for grapes. If that was all the pink fizz I'd tried I might be a bit hesitant.It is also often referred to as a girls drink however being both a girl and enthusiastic about things pink and fizzy I am not put off by that.



A blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir like the Non-Vintage and 2008 the wine is a pale salmon pink but there is something quite vibrant about it in the glass.  The colour is introduced at disgorging with a little top up of red wine which makes for a crunchy red fruity style of sparkling wine.

Bags of redcurrant, cherry, strawberry, raspberry and hints of vanilla and white pepper this sparkling rose is crisp, clean and a great match to home made pizza, cured ham and soft white cheeses.
