Athletes of Wine NV Meunier Brut Rosé

Elegant yet playful, this sparkling rosé is all about bright red fruits, fine bubbles, and crisp, mouth-watering freshness. Made from Pinot Meunier, it delivers both vibrancy and depth, making it just as perfect for celebrations as it is for an easy afternoon aperitif.

Location: Victoria, Australia
Winemaking / Farming Techniques: A hybrid sparkling style, combining traditional method and pét-nat techniques. The base wine is fermented dry in tank, then bottled for lees aging (traditional method). Disgorged without added sugar, yet uses natural grape sugar to instill its bubbles, echoing pét-nat fermentation methods.The winemaker describes this as a "Modern Ancestral" approach, marrying two sparkling traditions.
Style/Body: Light-bodied, textured, and expressive with natural, lively fizz.
Notes: Expect a delicate, lightly tinted rosé with bright red-fruit nuances (like strawberry, cherry) and a lightly leesy, vibrant character.
Descriptors: Hybrid sparkling, lees-aged, naturally effervescent, red-fruit driven, textured, minimal intervention.
Pairing Suggestions: Fantastic as an aperitif or paired with light seafood, fresh salads, charcuterie, or summer fare—any dish that benefits from bright, lively bubbles.
