Mirabeau La Folie Sparkling Rose
Pours a pale pink hue with a persistent bead. On the nose, vibrant aromatics emerge with passion fruit, mango, pink grapefruit and apricot mixed with floral and citrus blossom notes. The palate is fresh with crisp yuzu, lime zest and citrus fruits balanced by hints of white peach and exotic fruit.
