Dukes Vineyard The Duchess Pink 2021

This is a 100% Cabernet Sauvignon sparkling that Duke Ranson always wanted to make when he owned the winery. It was whole bunch pressed and then tiraged for 11 months. It has a creamy strawberry and red berry character, some hint of autolysis with nice palate texture and richness. It’s technically bone dry but there is a background of natural fruit sweetness. There is no dosage in this which is because of the natural fruit sweetness, providing a great balance.
