Kita-no-Novo rose is a classically styled rose sparkling wine, close to its Champenoise roots, made with careful attention to detail and in accordance with techniques developed by the Champenoise winemakers of northern France.
The grapes involved are Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier from the vineyards of the Kimura family, located in Yoichi, Hokkaido. The grapes, fermented “a la mode champenoise”, produce a crisp, gently aromatic sparkling wine show-casing apple, raspberry, brioche, and honey. Original identity of Kita-no-Novo rose was based on many blending trials between rose wine and Cuvée.
Try this with salmon with cream cheese, prosciutto with melon, or scattered Sushi.
