{"product_id":"2022-brut-rose-copy","title":"2021 Small Lot Extra Brut Rosé","description":"\u003cp\u003eA small-lot expression of our traditional method sparkling rosé, this late-disgorged release highlights the remarkable evolution that extended lees aging brings to Nova Scotia sparkling wine. While retaining the vibrancy, precision, and saline freshness characteristic of our ultra-cool climate, 46 months on lees has added exceptional depth, texture, and complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCrafted from 70% Pinot Noir and 30% Pinot Meunier, this Extra Brut cuvée was disgorged with a dosage of just 3 g\/L, resulting in a dry and vibrant sparkling rosé. The restrained dosage allows the wine's purity, minerality, and autolytic character to take centre stage. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe majority of the fruit was whole-cluster pressed, with a small portion receiving approximately one hour of skin contact to achieve its delicate rosé hue. Individual vineyard parcels were vinified separately in stainless steel using neutral Champagne yeast before blending. The base wine completed full malolactic fermentation, contributing a rounded, creamy mid-palate while preserving freshness and balance. \u003cspan\u003e206 cases produced (6 x 750 mL).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdl\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eVarietal Composition\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e70% Pinot Noir \u0026amp; 30% Pinot Meunier \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eVineyard Composition\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eEdgemere Estates (Canning), Randsland (Canning), Raven Hill (Wolfville) \u0026amp; Aylesford Mountain (Aylesford)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eAlcohol\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e12%\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003epH\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e3.28\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eTotal Acidity\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e6.46 g\/L\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eResidual Sweetness\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e4.35 g\/L\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eDisgorgement Date\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eMarch 4th 2026\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003c\/dl\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePale salmon pink in the glass.
