A Brut Rose made to rival the best anywhere. Made in the classic champagne methode from Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier grapes and finished very dry witha reserve wine dosage.
The Brut Rosé is aged three years "en tirage" allowing time for yeast autolysis and development of tertiary flavors and aromas. This rosé engages you with a beautiful salmon hue and the gentle crack of bursting tiny bubbles as it is poured in the glass. Strawberry and Asian pear flavors follow, leading to slight honey and baked good aromas. The Longboard Brut Rosé ages beautifully in the bottle if kept in a dark and cool place.
The Longboard Brut Rosé is finished very dry (0.7%), at the bottom end of the BRUT scale and pairs especially well with dishes such as salmon tartar, fried dishes (cauliflower is a favorite) and spicy Asian cuisine. Further ageing will allow more of the complex aged character to shine through - something we look forward to. Enjoy with good company.
