Bottle Note: Le Lude, a family-owned owned winery in Franschhoek, South Africa specializes in the crafting of fine sparkling wines in the bottle-fermented Methode Cap Classique. Made from the noble pinot noir and chardonnay grape varieties, the Le Lude Brut Rosé, features a vivid hue of onion skin and pale gold. Its enchanting color leads to berry and citrus flavors, enhanced by a textured and creamy mouth-feel, the result of a classic sparkling wine matured in traditional underground cellars.
