Generous passion fruit, raspberry and a hint of orange zest won't be missed on the nose. Persistent bubbles dance in the flute, while bright tangy flavors of cranberry, raspberry, grapefruit are mellowed by a touch of vanilla on a pleasant palate that finishes with a clean, quenching acidity.

Wine Critic Reviews

"The 2019 Brut Rosé is 100% Pinot Noir, but that is not obvious at the outset given its energetic, nervy personality. Cranberry, mint, crushed flowers and white pepper lend notable brilliance to this tasty Rosé from Fesstivity." ~ Antonio Galloni's Vinous
