Winemaking
Traditional winemaking process in stainless vessels with careful temperature control to protect the natural fruit flavors, typical of all varieties. Direct pressing
asnd stalk removal at 5°C. Once the base wine blend has settled and is ready to be made into sparkling, it is transferred into our Charmat tanks. Temperature and mixing regimes are carefully planned and monitored over this very important part of the process and the sensors on the tank measure the progress of pressure build up in the tank. Once the wine has reached its target pressure the wine is chilled down in order to stabilize it and left to settle prior to isobaric bottling.

Tasting
Pale pink in color, effusive in lemon and wild strawberry, this sparkler is a delicate blend. Aromas of bread crust, pomegranate and aromatic herb carry over to the palate along with wild strawberry, while an elegant perlage lends finesse. Focused acidity brightens the palate around flavors of oyster
shell, sea spray and ripe red berries.

Food pairings
From frittata to fruit tarts, citrusy salads to spicy BBQ, Jardin d’été can better your brunch, offer a refreshing aperitif and claim its place at the table from breakfast to dessert. As it stands up to meals that combine sweet and savory flavors, sparkling rosé is also one of the best wines to serve for Thanksgiving.
Recipes
Strawberry Pavlova
The particular joy of this dreamy dessert, which was named in honor of the Russian ballerina, is that the meringue base can be made in advance. Then to serve it, drizzle the strawberries with a little balsamic vinegar and vanilla (a combination that brings out the fullest essential flavor of the fruit), whip some cream and arrange it all on a plate. It’s magnificent, and deliriously easy. Learn more ›
