Sparkling Rose

The appearance of bubbles in wine was originally attributed to the phases of the moon, to good and evil spirits at war. Referred to as "the Devil's wine" in early Abbeys it was actually Dom Pérignon who first devised a way to prevent cellared wines from exploding, calling it the Méthode Champenoise. He also preferred using red grape varietals to make the wine, insisting that they are more flavourful than other white grape varietals - which naturally resulted in rosé Champagne. Today rosé sparkling wine, similar to its decidedly golden counterpart are associated with celebration, a feminine alternative if you will. Therefore should your sensibilities tend toward the pink we suggest you browse our selection.
