We had extremely high expectations for the Brut Rosé NV after reading very positive reviews from highly esteemed critics, and after tasting the class act that is the Brut Reserve NV.
The clear, pale pastel pink is beautiful and exciting. The nose is fragrant and there’s aromas of strawberries and raspberries, making this a great choice for those looking for something slightly sweeter and softer than the Brut Reserve but while softer it’s not lacking in structure; the acidity and fruitiness leaves a great impression all around the mouth.
The pungency of this wine along with its stellar taste is down to the French techniques that Coates & Seely are committed to. “As the fruit is picked, it is placed by hand into our specially sourced cagettes. The open sides of these cagettes allow for air circulation while their small size prevents the grapes from being crushed under their own weight.”
Attention to detail is something which sets Coates & Seely apart – their fastidious approach to winemaking shows in the Brut Rosé. The business is founded on a respect for nature and by ensuring grapes arrive at the winery in the best possible condition, the winemakers are adhering to those principles set out by the founders.
This is a wine for all; it’s perfect for connoisseurs but also for those who are less experienced. It’s leagues ahead of the majority of similarly priced Australian or American offerings and could easily mix it with most French products, even some of the higher priced bottles.
