Details and technical informations about Winery Casal Cordeiro's Rosé Seco.
Discover the grape variety: Arbane
Elegant, taut sparkling whites with a pale golden robe, a nervous palate and a razor-sharp acidity of refined citrus (lemon), green apple, white flowers (acacia), pear and chalky mineral notes. Fine ageing potential. A traditional minor component of Champagne AOC (one of 7 authorised grapes), preserved by growers attached to historic heritage. Rare native French grape of the Aube, a forgotten Champenois signature.

The word of the wine: Sulphur
An antiseptic and antioxidant substance known since antiquity, probably already used by the Romans. But it was only in modern times that its use was rediscovered. It will allow a better conservation of the wine and thus favour its export. Sulphur also gave the 18th century winegrower the possibility of extending the maceration period without fearing that the wine would turn sour and thus go from dark rosé wines to the red wines of today. Excessive sulphur, on the other hand, kills happiness, paralysing the aromas and causing headaches.
