“Taking into account the constant increase of appreciation for the winery’s existing sparkling wine, we decided to develop the range, creating Rosé Celést Brut, an exuberant, quality wine, suitable for those which love complex gastronomic experiences as well as those who want to enjoy an effervescent rosé, meant to open their palates.”, says Misi Dénes, Production Manager and the winery’s local oenologist.

“Rosé Celést Brut 2019 brings an explosion of fresh and crunchy red fruits, doubled by a beautiful minerality, specific to the Tarnave Valley. The color of the wine is pale pink, with orange luminescence, and the bubbles are intense and long. The nose is delicate, with peaches, fine pastry sensations, and aromatic herbs. The body is full, creamy, with lively acidity and well-integrated alcohol. The taste brings together May cherries, strawberries, and pink grapefruit, all elegantly integrated and wrapped in a discreet remnant of sugar. The long and fresh aftertaste leaves notes of citrus peel, muffin, and bitter, refined sensations. It can be enjoyed as an aperitif, but also with salads or grilled seafood.”, mentions Razvan Avram, wine specialist and founder of the Paharnicul. ro platform.

Rosé Celést Brut 2019 is available in Villa Vinèa brick-and-mortar stores, online, on www.villavinea.com, and in specialized wine shops, starting from 55 Lei/bottle.
