Pierre Olivier Sparkling Rose NV is a value sparkling ros, made with Tempranillo grapes from around the FrenchSpanish border (next to the Pyrenees). This is a new Kysela Project. This wine is aromatized with a very little amount of Raspberry flavor, giving a nice mouthfeel, with an extra aromatic boost. The bubbles are obtained using the Charmat method, named after Eugene Charmat, where the second fermentation takes places in a large, closed pressurized tank. It is different from the Methode Champanoise as the secondary fermentation doesn't take place in the bottle. Pale pink salmon. Just a touch off-dry, this is a very pleasant sparkler that reveals aromas of spicy red apple with a hint of cinnamon that carry through to the palate. Well made and exceedingly pleasant to drink. - International Wine Review (Annual Ros Report April 2013), 89
