About the Winery
Carmen Stevens Savi Rose Sparkling
About the wine
The Carmen Stevens Savi Rose Sparkling wine showcases a pink rose-gold hue both inviting and in vogue. Tiny, tiny bubbles come to life from the bottom of the glass. The nose shows a sweet toffee element fused with red ripe strawberries yet has a vibrant lime-sorbet appeal perfect for warm summer days. The palate entrance shows an explosion of ripe strawberries followed by a mineral salty element and a sweet mid-palate appeal which adds depth and linger to this wine. The zesty lime and fruit sweetness is in perfect harmony with each other and brings the different components together beautifully. The fine foam feeling on the palate adds that special spark necessary for a celebration!
