Details
Tom and the Mullany family at Ballinaclash make a small amount of sparkling wines, but this is their first-ever sparkling rosé! Made in a light and fresh form, this lovely frothy pink bubbly is all about the berry flavour, with a crisp palate packing a great balance of flavour and crisp energy.
Origin: Sparkling rosé was first made in the Limoux region of southern France in the 16th century. Mainly grown in: Pretty much everywhere - anywhere you find sparkling wine, sparkling rosé will naturally follow. Key facts: Think Pink! There’s no change from standard sparklings in the way these wines are made; the obvious difference is colour. But there’s more than that - the red grapes or wine that are used as part of the blend add a different set of aromas and flavours. Don’t be fooled by clever marketing, thinking it’s more expensive or better - just different. So, whether it is labelled methode traditionnelle, cava, pet nat, prosecco, or just sparkling, if it’s got rosé in the name, you know there are different grapes in the blend. Fun Fact: Most sparkling rosé is fizzy white with a dash of red wine added to it for colour!

Pairing guide
Pairing a rather joyful sparkling rosé like this one with a dish is just too easy. Drink the wine, and just about everything will taste good! Light on its feet, with a slightly sherbetty (but not sweet) energy, this pink fizz pairs well with everything from prawn salad to satay tofu burgers, fish cakes to chicken pies, bahn mi to burrata, and plenty in between. The main thing you need to do is chill this down to super icy and enjoy the lightly berry-flavoured fun.
