Antucura Cherie Sparkling Rose

Antucura Chérie Sparkling Rosé is a 100% Pinot Noir sparkling wine from Vista Flores in Argentina's Uco Valley, Mendoza, a high-altitude area at the base of the Andes known for dramatic temperature swings between day and night. Those swings help the grapes hold onto bright natural acidity, which comes through clearly in the finished wine. In the glass, it shows a pale salmon to coral color with fine, persistent bubbles. The nose is captivating and layered, with notes of strawberry, red cherry, and candied fruit mingling with toast, yeast, and delicate white flowers, a mix that speaks to careful traditional sparkling winemaking. On the palate, it's intense and fresh, with balanced acidity carrying citrus and dried fruit notes through to a lively, firm finish. The wine is made using minimal skin contact, just a few hours, to achieve its pale pink hue without picking up heavy tannin or weight, followed by a gentle press and cool fermentation to preserve freshness. It's a versatile rosé sparkler that works well as an aperitif or alongside lighter fare, and its bright, food friendly acidity makes it an easy match for everything from brunch to a festive celebration.
