Empire Estate Brut Rose NV

The Empire Estate Brut Rosé NV is a highly-rated, dry sparkling wine from the Finger Lakes region of New York, known for its vibrant fruit flavors, mineral notes, and balanced acidity. It is a collaboration between sommelier Thomas Pastuszak and winemaker Kelby James Russell. A blend of 95% Riesling and 5% Pinot Noir, expect red cherry, raspberry, baked lemon, toasted brioche, and mineral notes on the nose, with strawberry, lemon cream, and stone fruit flavors on the palate, finishing with a mineral-driven finish. Pairs well with light appetizers like smoked salmon or goat cheese, as well as heartier mains such as roasted chicken or grilled pork tenderloin.
