Dominique Portet LD Brut Rose Pinot Chardonnay

A mouth watering Sparkling Rose that finishes long, dry and savoury.

A blend of 55% Pinot Noir and 45% Chardonnay matured for 24 months on lees. Frothy mousse with a very pale salmon pink tinged colour and a fine, steady bead. Attractive strawberry, pear and yeast lees scents emanate out of the glass with some subtle baked bread notes also evident. Delicious pear and strawberry fruits carry a pillowy flow across the palate. Subtle baked bread, yeast lees and chalky mineral elements the undercard. Mouth watering acidity finishing long, dry and savoury.
Alc. 13%

Other Reviews…..
Has a straw pink hue with good mousse, the hand-picked blend 60/40% pinot noir/chardonnay, 90% from 2020, 10% reserve wines dating back to 2012. It spent 24 months on yeast lees and was given a light dosage of 5g/L. It has focus and intensity, bright fruit and terrific length. Arguably the best value of the Australian contingent.
