Regenerative Rose

OVERVIEW

Regenerative Rosé is the first wine we ever made and bottled commercially. It's also the first in our line of natural wines made the way nature intended with minimal intervention.  Regen Rosé is a "brüt nature"  (pronounced "nah-toor") style sparkling rosé.  Named after our regenerative farming methods which strive to cultivate life by using natural solutions rather than chemical ones. Like the farming, this wine style is a more natural version of wine. Brüt nature wines are the driest form of sparkling wine and still contain the "mother yeast" used to create the wine.  The wine is bottle fermented like traditional champagne but is not fined, filtered or disgorged. The wine also does get a dosage, which is essentially a sugar addtiion to the wine to sweeten it. Lastly, for anyone concerned about sulfites, brüt nature wines have EXTREMELY LOW levels of sulfite additions. 


IF YOU LIKE... Champagne or Cava

You'll love Regenerative Rosé which has the same bone-dry, traditional-method character, with a beautiful pink hue and Catawba's signature floral edge.

TASTING NOTES: 

  • Nose: Bright and floral, opening with fresh watermelon and a hint of ripe strawberry, layered with delicate rose petal, fresh mint and a whisper of brioche. As the wine breathes the fruity characteristics begin to fade and the subtle brioche, yeasty notes from time with the lees emerge. As this youthful wine ages it will build more complexity from the yeast autolysis adding stronger brioche, yeast aromas.

  • Palate: Crisp and dry, with the fruit-forward nose giving way to a leaner, high-acid palate — tart strawberry and watermelon rind carry through, cut by racy acidity and a fine, persistent mousse. A light touch of spice on the mid-palate echoes the grape's floral character without tipping into sweetness.

  • Finish: Clean, dry, and refreshing, with lingering fruit and a faint mineral snap.

SERVE: 

Best served fully chilled around 35 F. Place in your refrigerator overnight or at least several hours before serving. Gently rotate the bottle before opening to resuspend those yummy microbes.


FOOD PAIRINGS: 

We suggest this wine as a before meal apertif. The acidity and dryness of the wine really get the mouthwatering and ready for food. The wine goes really well with salty and fatty appetizers and snacks - think potato chips, almonds, or popcorn. It pairs well with soft creamier textured cheeses like brie or gouda. For meals, this wine will pair well with lighter meats like fish or chicken.
