Description
Winemaker Pedro Rosell is recognised as Argentina’s leading voice in sparkling wine production. Rosell’s unique process of leaving base wines for 2 years on lees followed by 2 years on lees in the bottle has built layers of complexity….freshly baked bread, french paterisserie. Fruit grown in the prestigious Lujan de Cuyo and much more at higher altitudes in the Uco Valley of Mendoza which imparts the classic acid profile into all their sparkling. No one in Argentina comes close to Cruzat in the premium bubbly stakes.
Cuvee comprises 60% Chardonnay and 40% Pinot Noir (dry zero dosage) …gorgeous fresh aromas of citrus, quince, tropical fruit and nutty, freshly baked bread nuances. Lovely delicacy, vibrant acidity and terrific persistence of flavour. This fine sparkling comes up trumps for sophistication….
