The Ninth Island Sparkling Brut Rosé NV is a vibrant Tasmanian sparkling wine crafted in the traditional method, blending Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier for freshness and complexity. The nose is lifted and aromatic, showing rose petal, fresh strawberry and raspberry, complemented by hints of citrus, spice and a subtle creamy note.
On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied with a fine, lively bead and a creamy, textured mouthfeel from extended lees ageing. Bright red fruit flavours are balanced by crisp acidity, leading to a clean, refreshing and elegant finish with excellent poise. The style is fresh, polished and highly approachable, offering both vibrancy and texture in a dry, food-friendly sparkling rosé.
