2018 Brand Wildrose Pur

The Brand brothers seem to be on fire, releasing a line of no sulfite cuvees from their estate in the Pfalz. We love their wines generally but this no sulfite rose caught us by surprise. An incredibly fresh blend of Pinot Noir and the very old varietal Blauer Portugieser, popular throughout Eastern Europe, particularly Croatia, Hungary, and Romania. Lower alcohol at 10% and lightly sparkling, this is a glugger to go with charcuterie or fresh cheese or straight from the bottle if you're nasty. But we had to kick, scream and fistfight for our few measly bottles so if you're interested act fast!
