The grapes for this wine are picked early on, at 19/20 brix, to keep them naturally lower in sugar and more crisp with a higher acid level. Imperial Kir is based on the 'Kir Imperiale', a drink first made popular in the late 1800's, and still enjoyed today. Our crisp, bubbly wine gets a touch of natural raspberry that adds a semi-sweetness to the wine. The color is light rosé. The taste is crisp with the flavor of zesty, ripe raspberries and a hint of melon. This is the perfect bubbly wine for any celebration, and an excellent aperitif to any meal or party. The perfect wedding toast wine!
