Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
A radiant expression of elegance and finesse, Soleil Rosé delights with a delicate ballet of aromas and flavors. The nose opens with wild strawberries, raspberries, and a whisper of rose petals, intertwined with hints of toasted brioche and citrus zest from extended lees aging.
On the palate, fine bubbles dance alongside vibrant red berry notes, layered with crisp apple, pomegranate, and a touch of creamy almond. A refreshing minerality and bright acidity lead to a long, refined finish with a touch of brioche and a kiss of pink grapefruit.
Vineyard Notes
2021 saw the hottest days of history in Comox hitting 38°c on June 27th, but over 40°c in the vineyard with many other sweltering days from June through August. The average sunlight was between 14 and 16 hours during the growing period with an average monthly precipitation of 3.6cm.
Winemaker Notes
Traditional Method. Primary fermentation. in stainless steel (EC1118) until dry. Held on lees through cold stabilization. Racked and filtered to secondary fermentation in bottle. Tiraged until June 2023 minimum. Riddled disgorged, dosage with 50ml Pinot Noir. Same vintage year. 2.5 bar pressure.

Zippy, fruity and festive. Crisp acidity makes it exciting on its own but strong enough to complement fresh fruit or a celebratory dessert. Nice mouthfeel that's not too aggressive, while remaining the life of the party!

I love a good rose and this one does not disappoint. It is so refreshing! I have found that adding strawberries or raspberries is a nice added touch.
