NV Freixenet Alcohol Removed Sparkling Rosé

A blend of native grapes. The grapes are squeezed, fermented and filtrated to obtain a 10% abv wine. The alcohol is then removed by vaccum distillation at 40˚Celsius. Then the fining and filtration occur. C02 and SO2 are adjusted. Before bottling, there is a cold sterile filtration. Between 0 and 0.05% alcohol. Pours a nice pink color and shows off notes of wild berries such as raspberry and strawberry, along with floral notes and tropical fruits. It is off-dry rather than bone-dry.  Can be enjoyed on its own or paired with fresh seafood, white meat, grilled vegetables and fruit tarts. Freixenet is a Spanish producer of cava and other sparkling and still wines, founded in 1914 in Sant Sadurní d’Anoia, in the province of Barcelona.
