Sparkling Rosé
A silky, well-balanced, and rather dry sparkling rosé from the Languedoc-Roussillon region of France. Made from Syrah, it reveals bright notes of summer berries, green apple, and citrus, with an all-natural color. The wine is defined by its fresh acidity and natural elegance, finishing clean and refreshing, perfect for warm-weather occasions.
Syrah
Languedoc-Roussillion, France
Sparkling Rosé comes from Languedoc–Roussillon, a region marked by geological variety and one of the longest winemaking histories in France. Vineyards here sit on alternating layers of limestone, schist, and clay, each influencing how the grapes retain acidity, develop aroma, and express minerality. The southern climate brings long periods of sun, while the Tramontane wind, a defining feature of the region, cools the valleys and helps preserve freshness in the fruit. Wild garrigue plants such as thyme, rosemary, and lavender grow around the vineyards and subtly shape the aromatic profile of the grapes. Roman roads, monastic vineyards, and centuries of agricultural practice have left a visible imprint on the landscape. After years focused on quantity, the region is now driven by producers who prioritize precision and regional identity.
The Making of Sparking Rosé
Sparkling Rosé is made by harvesting Syrah in the gentle warmth of Southern France and allowing a short period of skin contact to achieve its pale colour and light tannic structure. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel to preserve freshness, and the wine then rests for twelve months on fine lees, developing aromatic detail and a more rounded texture. Once the wine has reached its intended profile, the alcohol is removed through a low-temperature, aroma-preserving method designed to retain primary fruit, acidity, and the integrity of the mousse. The aim is to preserve the wine’s structure and its natural spectrum of red berries, floral notes, and the faint spice characteristic of Syrah. The approach reflects standard rosé vinification adapted carefully for dealcoholization.

Syrah
Our Sparkling Rosé is crafted from Syrah, also known as Shiraz. The grape provides its natural colour, gentle tannin structure, and the subtle spice that defines this style of rosé. The combination of southern sunlight and wind-borne freshness allows us to produce wines with natural aromatic richness and balance, essential qualities that remain intact through dealcoholization.
Syrah (Shiraz) – Offers depth, a light pepper note, and fine tannins; its colour and structure make it well suited for creating a clear, expressive sparkling rosé.

"This is a wonderfully sparkling rosé from the Languedoc-Roussillon region of France that has been “liberated from alcohol” by using what Oddbird terms “a specialised technique designed to remove alcohol while preserving their full potential and desired characteristics”
