2014 Shindig FIZZI Pink

Shindig FiZZi Pink is a fruit-forward, zesty berry explosion, made in a brut style. Raspberry, cherry, cranberry and boysenberry flavors, mingled with a hint of tangerine and the slightest touch of sweetness jump out of the glass. Pleasantly fine bubbles and a savory finish linger in full-on summer mode. Cabernet Franc is a terrific grape for creating a balanced, fresh, fun, and mineral-driven sparkling rosé.

Varietals

100% Cabernet Franc

Region

Finger Lakes (Seneca Lake), NY

Process

Shindig FiZZi Pink is our first sparkling rosé, made at the request of many fans of BOE! First fermented in stainless steel tanks at cold temperatures as part of our regular rosé production, the Cabernet Franc was wild-fermented to near dryness, and then transferred to a high-pressure tank to carbonate and turn into sparkling wine.

Pairing Notes

A lip smacking, thirst-quenching, food loving wine, Shindig FiZZi is a perfect aperitif and matches shellfish, sushi, white fish, or mild cheeses. It’s also wonderful to use to make sparkling wine cocktails such as a Kir Royale or a Bellini - just add a splash of your favorite juice or nectar.
