Rosé champagne is a type of sparkling wine.
It is produced by mixing juice from red and white grape varieties, to which special yeast and cane sugar are added. After that, the mixture is distributed into bottles for its secondary fermentation. As a result of this procedure, carbon dioxide is formed in champagne. The drink has a strength in the range of 11-13%.
Review of pink champagne
The field of pink champagne is the French province of Provence, where masters created it several centuries ago. Initially, the drink was saturated with carbon dioxide in a natural way, but over time, the technology for producing the drink changed and now the gas in the wine is added artificially.
The main difference between pink sparkling wine is the presence in its aroma of fresh berry notes: strawberries, raspberries and wild strawberries. If you hold the drink in a glass for a while, then ginger shades, touches of peony or pepper begin to be captured. Of course, only those who are very well versed in wine can fully reveal the taste of champagne and appreciate all its advantages.
Sparkling wine acquires its final sweetness as sugar is added to it, which is why different types are distinguished. Dry type wines are considered the most valuable, as the process of their production is rather complicated. And in general, if you look at the prices of the drink, it immediately catches your eye that it is about 2 times higher than the prices of wines of other varieties.
Classic pink sparkling wine goes well with salmon pate, lobster, baked venison, truffle desserts. Before serving, the drink should be cooled to a temperature of -10-12°C.
