SPARK ROSE 2017 BRUT SPARKLING WINE | CHATEAU KAMNIK

A dry red wine produced by vinification of delicately selected grapes of the following grape varieties: Merlot (43%), Vranec^[1] (38%) and Cabernet Franc (19%). The wine is characterized by an intense ruby red color. Its appealing aroma of dark berries is complemented by spicy undertones and finishes with a long aftertaste revealing cappuccino and dark chocolate. The complexity of this cuvée results from the 17-month ageing in new and partly used French and American oak barrels. The taste is full-bodied, with a high content of extract, harmonic acids and soft velvety tannins that provide this wine with a bottle ageing capacity of several years.

This exquisite dry red wine is produced from 100% carefully selected Merlot grapes. The wine is characterized by a deep ruby red color with dark purple hues. The curiosity about this wine is the 24-month ageing process during which the French and American oak barrels were twice replaced with new ones. This rarely used ageing method, 200% barrique, results in an intensive, ripe and complex aroma of black fruits purée, discreet vanilla with mint and clove hints. The taste is rich, full-bodied, harmonious, with an excellent balance, soft tannins, and with a long fruity-and-chocolate aftertaste. A careful cellaring of several years in bottle under appropriate conditions will ensure the development of its further complexity.
