"One of the better South African rosé sparkling wines we tasted, the Colmant NV Brut Rosé shows beautiful balance and a finely flavored, nuanced palate of strawberry and cherry that finishes crisp and dry. It’s a blend of 67% Pinot Noir and 33% Chardonnay matured on the lees for 24 months."

"Light, elegant and refreshing, this pink MCC combines Pinot Noir with 25% Chardonnay and has attractive aromas of rose petal and rosehip backed up by a taut, racy palate of redcurrant, and raspberry fruit embellished by wood and toasty autolysis. 2021-25

"Colmant's Brut Rosé is an easy-drinking bubbly that partners Pinot Noir with 25% Chardonnay, using grapes from five different regions across the Western Cape. Lees-aged for 20 months, with eight grams of dosage, it has extra complexity from the addition of reserve wine, raspberry and wild strawberry fruit and a zesty finish. 2022-25"

"The beautiful NV Brut Rose has a light rosé nose with a soft lemony freshness that is almost like strawberry lemonade. There is a clear line of citrus on the palate, with a lemon-lime center on the mid-palate. The finish is precise, zippy and focused. These bubbles have serious acidity for being grown in South Africa. - Anthony Mueller"

"Copper salmon color. Incisive red berry scents with a hint of blood orange. Fruity but dry on a creamy palate with a fine mousse and lingering finish. A blend of 75% Pinot Noir and 25% Chardonnay, 15% fermented in oak and 15% reserve wines, with a minimum of 24 months on the lees in bottle."

"The Brut Rosé (disgorged March 2018) is a blend of 75% Pinot Noir and 25% Chardonnay with 15% base wine and 15% reserve wine, with the Pinot Noir macerated on its skins for color, matured on the lees for 24 months. Deep salmon in color, it has a fine mousse and attractive strawberry and cherry scents on the nose - no shy and retiring rosé here. The palate is well balanced with Braeburn apples, hints of strawberry and a touch of tart cherries fanning out toward the creamy-textured, satisfying finish. A sparkling rosé that’s proud to be pink!- Neal Martin"
