Discover the refined elegance and vibrant effervescence of Aurelius Brut Rosé, a captivating sparkling wine that promises a sophisticated sensory experience. This 750ml bottle, with a balanced 12% alcohol by volume, brings the charming finesse of Moldovan sparkling winemaking to discerning individuals in New Zealand, offering a premium and versatile option for any occasion.
Aurelius Winery, nestled on picturesque hills among vineyards in Moldova, is a progressive company specialising in crafting quality noble wines and sparkling varieties. The name Aurelius, evoking brilliance and nobility, reflects the meticulous care and thought imbued in every bottle. This Brut Rosé sparkling wine is crafted from carefully selected red grape varietals (often Pinot Noir or Feteasca Neagra, a local Moldovan grape), which are either directly pressed or undergo a brief maceration to achieve its delicate salmon-pink hue. The Charmat method of secondary fermentation (in tanks) is typically employed, preserving the fresh fruit characteristics and ensuring a consistent, lively effervescence.
Ideally served well-chilled at 6-8°C, Aurelius Brut Rosé is a remarkably versatile sparkling wine. It excels as a sophisticated aperitif, a superb companion to a wide range of savoury dishes, from fresh seafood and grilled poultry to light pasta dishes, charcuterie, and mild cheeses. Even during New Zealand's cooler winter months, its crisp acidity and invigorating bubbles offer a brilliant contrast to richer flavours, making it perfect for celebrating intimate moments or adding a touch of grandeur and a splash of colour to any gathering.
