Antucura 'Cherie' Sparkling Rose

Anne-Caroline Biancheri went looking for the perfect place to raise her family and found it in Mendoza, Argentina's Vista Flores zone. As winery-owner, she primarily focuses on producing Pomerol-style reds from New World terroirs, but unusually for that part of Argentina she also grows Pinot Noir. That's what goes into her highly-rated sparkling rose, a delicate champagne-style wine that's even more unique for Argentina! It offers delicate aromas of strawberry and rose petals that lead into citrus and cherry on the light-bodied palate, which offers a fine yet persistent mousse. It has good acidity and a refreshing, palate-cleansing finish.
