ROSÉ OF THE WEEK

Sparkling cider rosé (with cranberry), Entre Pierre et Terre, Quebec cider, $16.25, SAQ # 12030291: The last “rosé of the week” until next summer. Like everything this cider house makes, done with great restraint. Apple notes are there while the cranberry adds extra acidic grip and some bright red fruit. Very dry with elegant bubbles. At 8 per cent alcohol, you can drink lots, as well. Impressive. Residual sugar: n/a. Serve at: 6-8 C. Drink now. Food pairing idea: apéritif.
