AYAMA Mèthode Cap Classique Brut Rosé 2009

This blush salmon pink sparkling wine has upfront notes of rose petals, cherry perfume and Turkish delight. The palate is creamy and smooth with a perfect balance between strawberry, red apple, sherbet and brioche. The wine is crisp and refreshing for pure enjoyment and shows elegance and finesse. In the mouth the wine is rich with a textured velvety mousse with delicate strawberry flavour. The mid palate is soft and persistent finishing with a clean racy acidity.

Serve well chilled. Enjoy on its own or with oysters, delicate seafood dishes and salads.
