• Tasting Notes

  An exciting and innovative approach was used with producing this NV Sparkling Red Wine. This sparkling wine evolved from using 15 different red wine varieties scattered throughout the winery. Together, these 15 wines have become one resulting in the newly created Petersons NV “Number 15” Sparkling Rouge that is definitely original and very enticing There are fifteen good reasons why this wine is so special : Barbera, Cabernet Sauvignon, Chambourcin, Durif, Grenache, Malbec, Mataro, Merlot, Montepulciano, Petit Verdot, Pinot Noir, Sangiovese, Shiraz, Tempranillo and Zinfandel Using a unique combination of these 15 individual wine varieties and in specific proportions, this clever blending formula has resulted in a wine that delivers interesting complexity, luscious, flavoursome, characteristics that are distinctively alluring and divine The Italian varieties have imparted intense richness. Delicate floral, perfumed notes are derived from the traditional French Petit Verdot, Pinot Noir and Merlot. With the injection of the robust Chambourcin, Cabernet Sauvignon, Durif and Zanfandel, these 15 varieties have all come together brilliantly to produce a superbly balanced, tightly structured wine with an abundantly diverse sensory canvas that is both savoury and sweet all encased gloriously by barrel aged French oak.

  This is a deep, cherry coloured wine.

• Bouquet

  Strong nuances of beetroot, rhubarb and sweet pipe tobacco evident in both the bouquet and on the palate

• Palate

  There is a delicious cherry ripe chocolate element that teases the back palate and lingers for quite some time afterwards

  Must be very cold! Refrigerate for 2 days prior to opening.

• Food Matches

  A scrumptious wine to enjoy on its own as an aperitif with strong flavoured cheeses and a French baguette or it would complement any game meat dish with roasted beets perfectly!
