TASTING NOTE:
Jean-Claude Mas comes from a family with a long tradition of wine-making in southern France, dating back to 1892. This Sparkling Rose embodies the regions way of life, which includes an appreciation of good food, family, culture and fun times. A bright and vibrant rose that can be drunk anywhere good food and smiles are to be had.

The Arrogant Frog 'Lily Pad Pink' is a dry sparkling Rose sourced from a variety of the best vine growing regions in the south of France. This sparkling was crafted by the Charmat method, where the second fermentation was made in vats (one month in the vat, on its lees). When the cuvee of the three different varieties is made the 'liqueur tirage' is then added. The fermentation in closed vat lasts for 4 weeks; this is the time where the bubbles come into being. The result is a natural sparkling wine, with a delicate and persistent mousse.

As you pour the wine in your flute a salmon-pink colour and fine bubbles will rise. The bubbles release a subtle bouquet of small red berries, reminding you of gooseberry, wild raspberry and strawberries. These notes also carry through onto the palate, which is soft and full of bright fruits. Due its residual sugar of 24g/L - chill and served at cold a temperature of 6 to 8C.

CELLARING POTENTIAL:
Drinking perfectly well this summer - and over the next 2-3 years.

SUGGESTED FOOD MATCHES:
Perfect wine match with salmon hors d'oeuvres, and a dessert made out of red fruits, enjoy.

Bright and refreshing for any summer occasion.
