Le Ciel est Bleu 2023 Grape|Syrah

Le Ciel est Bleu 2023 Grape|SyrahA thirst quenching sparkling ros that never seems to last long once the bottle is popped open. Aromas of apricot and acacia blossom are met with a hint of grapefruit alongside a zippy acidity. The 2023 feels even lighter than the previous vintage with hints of gentle blackcurrant like fruit notes and subtle spice. As the name suggests, this one is full of summery berry fruits and is best enjoyed outdoors when le ciel est bleu (the sky is blue). Made
