2018 Benjamin Bridge Brut Rose🔥93pts

A beautiful sparkling wine with extremely limited production. It starts with a pure and attractive colour, follows with super soft bubbles, a zingy first layer filled with tension followed by classic biscuit and toasty notes where the Pinot Meunier shines. The nose is a mix of lemon, pear, and wild strawberries, plus a hint of white tea and toasted almond biscotti. The palate is filled with tension, but also delivers great soft texture, flavours of apricot, Meyer lemon, wild strawberries, guava and brioche. On the finish, salinity, cinnamon and cloves. A young expression of a rose sparkling, showing a little bit of austerity at this point, but promising an incredible performance for those who can wait 5-7 more years. (Carl Boucher, October 1, 2025).
