Michel Jodoin                                Sparkling Rosé Cider, 7 Vol.-%

Method

Made with the uniquely red-fleshed Geneva apple, this sparkling rosé cider is produced according to the traditional champagne method. It is aged 15 months on its lees prior to the final sparkling process.

Tasting notes

A shimmering rosy peach tint. Fine and continuous bubbles. Intense and complex aromas of red berries with a flowery tinge. On the palate, a lingering sweetness combines with a delicate acidity, good body and a touch of bitterness.

Serving suggestions

Ideal as an aperitif, this festive cider is the perfect companion to any fish or seafood entrée, such as salmon tartare, cheeses and pâtés. Try it with a warm camembert, a strawberry pannacotta or pour some over a red fruit cup. Produced in Québec, here is a choice alternative to Champagne and other sparkling wines.
