Cordon Rosado Brut

Freixenet Cordon Rosado, was created to meet consumer demand for a premium sparkling wine that is smoother, softer and "friendlier" than brut with an appealing and attractive color.

Tasting Notes

This sparkling wine is fresh, crisp and lively. It is full of ripe cherry and berry flavors with a body that is exceptionally smooth andsatiny. It is surprisingly dry with a long and satisfying finish.

Winemaking

The grape varieties used in the creation of the base wine for this Cava are Trepat and Garnacha. Mediterranean red grapes are naturally lower in acid creating a softer brut without the typical astringent acidity found in most
sparkling wines. These red grapes are also responsible for the attractive salmon-pink color of the wine.
