Carboniste Sparkling Rouge Brut

Carboniste Rouge Brut 2023
Bold and playful, this sparkling red blend opens with juicy plum, pomegranate, and herbal undertones. The smooth tannins and lively fizz make it equally suited for a picnic, a BBQ, or as the unexpected star at your next dinner. The rich Merlot-base gives it weight, while the Albariño brings freshness and energy—definitely not your usual red.
