Details
This Champagne-style fizz is a blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir and displays all the hallmarks of a top-quality Champagne in all but name. The nose is layered with toast, brioche and white blossom. This is rich and bold on the palate, with subtle notes of almond meal and a lovely racy finish. Only 20,000 bottles were made.
Named New World Producer of the Year in 2015, Bodega Atamisque may be a smaller-sized Argentinian winery, but it’s one with some serious international clout and a feverish following both at home and overseas. With a cabinet full of accolades as a result of their beautiful unoaked Serbal range, and with lofty ambitions to further explore the potential of their Uco Valley terroir, it’s safe to say that the team at Atamisque have their sights firmly fixed upon a very bright future. The winemakers themselves would say - as all good winemakers do - that the secret to their success comes down to the amazing land they’ve been working on, and the climatic conditions in Argentina’s Tupungato region. Head vintner Philippe Caruguel knows exactly how to make the most of his stunning Malbec grapes, and has been experimenting (to great success) with Cabernet Franc in recent years, too. By working alongside growers across an array of heritage vineyards, he’s managed to capture the heart of this corner of Mendoza, as well as the hearts of fans of deeply-fruitful New World wines everywhere.

Pairing guide
Rosé Sparkling wines, especially one as distinguished and elegant as this bottle from Bodega Atamisque, are always exciting to bring to the dining table. We loved this elegant sparkler alongside dishes making the most of fine charcuterie, fresh and raw seafood, and dishes highlighting flavours such as pomegranate molasses, raspberry and other soft fruits. Grilled sausages, rare rack of lamb, duck breast salads and Japanese glazes - such as teriyaki - will also work very well indeed.

Wine region

Uco Valley, Argentina
The Uco Valley is arguably home to some of Argentina's finest wine producers. This sub-region is part of the wider region of Mendoza, the premier wine-growing region in the country. Uco is slightly more unique that the rest of the region due to its higher-altitude vineyards. This often leads to wine styles with a little more balance and restraint, and they often come in with more florality than their lower-altitude counterparts. The region has seen significant investment over the years, and some of the world's household wine names now own vineyards in these parts.
