The Dominique Portet Brut Rosé NV is an elegant traditional method sparkling crafted from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grown in the cool, elevated vineyards of the Upper Yarra Valley. Anchored by the 2023 vintage and complemented by carefully matured reserve wines, the cuvée spends a minimum of 24 months on lees before disgorgement, developing impressive complexity while retaining exceptional freshness and finesse. The nose is beautifully expressive, offering aromas of wild strawberry, raspberry and rose petal layered with citrus blossom, freshly baked brioche and delicate mineral notes, reflecting both its French heritage and Yarra Valley purity.
On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied with a fine, silky mousse and vibrant natural acidity. Bright red berry fruit is balanced by subtle pastry richness and a refreshing mineral backbone, leading to a long, dry and beautifully poised finish. Graceful and refined with outstanding balance, this sparkling rosé delivers elegance, freshness and complexity in equal measure, making it a superb choice for both celebrations and the dining table.
Ben’s Recommendation:
The Dominique Portet Brut Rosé NV is a beautifully refined sparkling rosé that combines vibrant fruit, creamy texture and exceptional finesse. Enjoy it as an aperitif or pair it with freshly shucked oysters, smoked salmon, lobster, grilled prawns, duck breast or soft-ripened cheeses. Best enjoyed now through 2032.
