Anthonij Rupert L'Ormarins Brut Rosé 2019

Delicate blush or coral pink hue with lively stream of tiny, vigorous bubbles. Low key and subtle aromas of raspberry and strawberry mingle with a limestone/chalk note as well as green apple and citrus zest on the nose. The entry is lively and immediately engaging: bright, tangy and crisp and lemon vivacity. There’s a lip-smacking fresh acidity which precedes a fantail of low-key red fruit, citrus zest, green apple and a light chalky/limestone and gravel dust note. Structured, precise and focussed but superbly succulent and refreshing, it bids a lengthy farewell with a gently creamy tail.
