“Fillet of a fenny snake,
In the caldron boil and bake;
Eye of newt, and toe of frog,
Wool of bat, and tongue of dog,
Adder’s fork, and blind-worm’s sting,
Lizard’s leg, and howlet’s wing,—For a charm of powerful trouble,
Like a hell-broth boil and bubble.”

Macbeth, Act IV, Scene I
By William Shakespeare

This is no witch’s brew of bubbles. This Brut Rosé has a gorgeous salmon-pink color that sparkles in the glass. Yes, a pretty sparkler but one that tastes even better than it looks. A glass of this rose-tinted potion with its tight ascending bubbles casts its spell like a temptress, mercillessly sucking one in its charms.

[More:]

This is a dreamy sparkling rosé that is elegant and delicate, yet rich in strawberry and raspberry flavors and touches of spice. The wild berry flavors impress and are enhanced with a creaminess and a doughy biscuit subtleness. This sparkler will infuse a burst of exuberance to any occasion and will accompany almost any cuisine. It could turn a plain ham sandwich into haute cuisine. Impressive and delicious and doesn’t even need an eye of newt.
