$12.95

WINE EXPERT’S TASTING NOTES


Henry Varnay, located in Saumur on the Loire River, produces a remarkable Charmat Method sparkling wine, the Rosé Sec NV. This delightful wine is a blend of Gamay and Cabernet Franc, the two most prominent red grapes of the Loire Valley, and a touch of Grenache, Syrah, and Pineau d'Aunis. Sourced from various Loire Valley vineyards, this sparkling wine is consistent in quality, showcasing bright red fruit flavors with a hint of sweetness that plays off the vibrant acidity of younger vineyards and early picking. Aged in the Tuffeau, Saumur's famous calcareous rock cellars, this wine has a lovely off-dry character, producing approximately 8,000 cases per year. Enjoy this wine with seafood, light pasta dishes, or creamy cheeses for a delightful experience.

TASTE WINE

Look, Smell, Taste and Conclude

VISUAL

You can tell the age of the wine by the color in the glass, also if you look at the legs of the wine you can determine quality aspects

SMELL

When you first start smelling wine, think big to small. Are there fruits? Think of broad categories first, i.e. citrus, orchard, or tropical fruits in whites or, when tasting reds, red fruits, blue fruits, or black fruits. Getting too specific or looking for one particular note can lead to frustration

The Grape

The grape variety is very important to understand a wine.
Grape varieties are considered the most important factor in differentiating a wine

IN YOUR TONGUE

You will be able to perceive that the flavor runs throughout the mouth. You will notice how it runs along the sides, which indicates that it is a quality wine due to its structure.
