Elyssia Pinot Noir Brut
Elyssia Pinot Noir Brut takes the classic Pinot Noir grape and adds a touch of Trepat to create a distinctive new sparkling Rosado.
-- Tasting Notes --
Elyssia Pinot Noir Brut has an intense aroma of raspberries and blackberries with a fresh and fruity mid-palate followed by a lovely, sweet aftertaste with a soft acidity.
-- Winemaking --
The Pinot Noir used for the Elyssia Pinot Noir Brut is grown on the Mas Bernich estate located near the town of Masquefa in the Alt Penedès region, southwest of Barcelona, Spain. The grapes benefit from the cooling fogs rolling off the Mediterranean and the long warm growing season. Freixenet produces only méthode champenoise sparkling wines. The wine goes through two fermentations with the second fermentation taking place in the bottle.
