This sparkling wine made from Pinot Noir is elegant and expressive. The grapes are grown in the Mas Escorpí family vineyards, which are worked according to the principles of biodynamic viticulture. The Argent Rosé is an excellent sparkling wine produced by the Gramona winery in the Penedès.
VINIFICATION
The Pinot Noir grapes were harvested on 7 August. After manual harvesting, the grapes went through the sorting table before entering the press by gravity. We collected 52% of the extraction and the fractions were meticulously separated. The must fermented in French oak barrels of 600 and 300 litres of various uses, at a temperature of 14 °C, to obtain a fresh, elegant base wine with a firm skeleton, always taking care of the balance between aromatic expressiveness and tannin, and after pressing, Argent Rosé is aged in rhyme for more than 30 months. The process is entirely handcrafted. We use natural cork stoppers, which favours the longest ageing. We use desks for clarification. Stirring and disgorging are also carried out by hand.
TASTING NOTE
Golden in colour with rose gold highlights, it offers aromas of ripe stone fruit, roses and wilted flowers. The ageing notes come from bread crust and fallen leaves. The crisp, fully integrated carbonic acidity melds with a sustained acidity and a mineral note closes the whole.
FOOD PAIRING
It’s ideal harmonies are richly spiced, oriental and Caribbean dishes. To enjoy this wine to the fullest, we suggest serving it between 8 °C and 10 °C.
