13th Street Winery Cuvée Rosé Brut
サーティーンス・ストリート・ワイナリー キュヴェ・ロゼ ブリュット

年末に恒例のお年玉セールで狙っていたカナダのスパークリングワインセットが、我が家に届きました。もちろん我が家の手狭なセラーには入る余地もなく、取り敢えずつめつめして出来た貴重な空きスペースに詰め込んだこちらを開けてみることに(^-^) 13th Street Cuvée Brut Sparkling Rosé (HPより転載) ■Winery　13th Street Winery ■APPELLATION　VQA Niagara Peninsula ■VINEYARD　Various ■GRAPE VARIETY 71% Pinot Noir 29% Chardonnay ■BRIX AT HARVEST　18.5 ■ALCOHOL CONTENT　12.5% ■RESIDUAL SUGAR 10 grams/Litre ■Indicative blend　71% Pinot Noir and 29% Chardonnay. ■item description THIS IS AN LCBO VINTAGES ESSENTIAL Suitable as the perfect aperitif to serve friends and family on arrival at between 5 and 8°C. This wine will pair nicely with shellfish or poached fish in pink sauces, smoked salmon or tuna tartare, charcuterie plates or antipasti. Although not sweet　enough to pair with dessert, try with high fat creamy fresh and bloomy rind cheeses such as Upper Canada ricotta drizzled with honey and topped with toasted, candied nuts. Will marry nicely with fresh strawberries in season drizzled with a little aged balsamic or topped with cracked pepper. ■TASTING NOTES The mousse is creamy and fine, but the wine is dry and quite bracing with a long, fine finish of fruit skin, ripe stone fruit and light toast. Sparkling wines such as this, with their hint of sugar, bright acidity and carbon dioxide have all the necessary tools to age well for years. Although delicious and perfectly appropriate to drink this wine immediately, this wine will change and mellow through 2021.  (転載終了) グラスに注いだスパークリングは綺麗なチェリー色。ひとくち頂くと、世界はイチゴ祭(^-^)ﾜｯｼｮｰｲ、後味はビターでミネラルも感じられてキリッとしていて北国を感じさせてくれます(^-^)旨し 去年も同じワイナリーのスパークリングを頂き美味しかった記憶が甦りました。
