As we all get ourselves ready to enjoy the party season it,s a good time to think about what festive drinks we should be stocking up on. Here in the UK this time of year means cold so we look forward to some great fortified wines but may I suggest a look at some sparkling rose wine to get things going.
Sparkling Rose Wine is the obvious choice for a party whatever the weather and is a slightly sweeter option to white sparklers. It also somehow looks great in the glass and something in those bubbles just makes us happy. Lets have a look at a few examples followed by some info on where to buy sparkling rose wine.
As with all types of wine I think you get the best of all worlds when you buy wine online so the following examples are all to be found on the web. One of the better known sparkling rose wine is the Zinfandel grape based-blush, which is extremely popular in the US where it out sells almost every other style of wine. Try the Beringer Sparkling White Rose as a good example - it has some great floral notes with flavours of strawberry and citrus. In the UK you'll be paying a refreshing £9 per bottle and getting a lot of taste for your money.
Also delicious is the Sparkling Pinot Noir Rose. Bubbles take this most beguiling of grape varieties to another level offering a wealth of soft berry flavours. Worth a try is the Campanula Sparkling Rose Pinot Noir produced in Hungary in conditions beloved of the Pinot variety and again under £9 per bottle in the UK. Moving up the scale a little - Bird in The Hand 2010 is another sparkling pinot rose this time from Australia and at closer to £15 per bottle is made with the finest fruit of the vintage selected from a small parcel ofvines in the Adelaide hills.
Again from Australia this time the Yarra valley comes the Green Point Sparkling Rose, Domaine Chandon - a Chardonnay based fizz which offers the now well established New World Elegance. Couple this with the fact that this particular vineyard has been run by Moet and Chandon since 1986 and you get an elegant and sophisticated bottle for slightly under £19.
As you might expect many great Sparkling Roses; can be found in France. Take for example the Charles Pettier Sparkling Rose. Fresh berry fruit a subtle mousse and dry finish make this a classic French wine of this style and a bargain at three bottles for £55 UK. Rose wine in general and not just the sparkling variety is very popular in the south of France and it can approach the price levels of some vintage Champagnes such is the esteem in which it is held.
Look also for Chilean Sparkling Rose Wine as this country is producing some incredibly high quality and affordable wines in quite a few classic styles.
