Pierre Boniface - Les Rocailles
Caprice des Rocailles Sparkling Rosé NV
Pierre Boniface wines are produced at Les Rocailles, a true earthly paradise nestled in the French Alps. A cornerstone of the HPS portfolio, these wines represent great values, and will be a revelation to those unfamiliar with the unique and distinctive wines of Savoie.
Tasting Notes: Produced entirely from Gamay, this sparkling rosé is a wine of immense charm, offering ripe strawberry/raspberry aromas and a refreshing acidity to balance its subtle sweetness.
Serve With: A versatile wine, it can be enjoyed on its own, or paired with your favorite desserts - it marries especially well with dark chocolate, fruit tarts, tortes, fruit-topped cheesecake or Tiramisu.
