NV CVNE Cava Brut Rosé

70% Grenache and 30% Pinot Noir. The varietals are harvested and fermented separately. Maceration at low temperature. Press juice yield of 50%. Made in the traditional or “Champagne” method. After the bottling, the second fermentation and aging take place in CVNE’s cellars located at 100 feet underground, at a constant room-temperature of 55ºF all year round. Dosage is 8/gL. 12.0% alcohol. 

Pours a lovely pale orange-pink color with a lively, almost aggressive mousse. Strawberry, cherry, red apple on the nose, with red fruits and a bit more citrus peeking in on the palate alongside light notes of toast and brioche. Light to medium bodied and very dry, with medium-plus acidity and a long, super fresh finish.
