and its aroma has blighted many a mating

Haan Chanticleer Cabernet Sauvignon Brut Rosé

Philosophy

Chanticleer follows the Haan approach in making rare, exciting and different fine wines.

Viticulture

The Cabernet Sauvignon comes from the Haan's own vineyard. It is picked a little earlier (11.5-12.0°Baume) to achieve the flavour but to retain the elegance.

Winemaking

Rose sparkling wines are rare enough, but even more so when made from Cabernet Sauvignon.

A lively wine with quite noticeable florals and a tiny touch of Cabernet leafiness. The colour is dusky rose and being from cabernet will tend to hold its brilliance much longer than other red varieties.

Chanticleer is made sparkling in the traditional bottle fermented method after ageing on lees. Only small quantities are disgorged at any one time to enable the longest time on lees.

The Wine

Truly a magnificent aperitif which is quite flavoursome to the degree it can be enjoyed with more traditional dishes as well as finger-foods.

Best served around 6°C - just off the chill.

Proprietor's Reserve

A term so often used, and in this case, a matter of fact. However, if you would like to try the rather unique Chanticleer, it is possible.

Availability

In cartons of one dozen 750 mL bottles.
