Veuve Du Vernay Ice Rose 750ml
It's a sparkling rosé wine from France, under the Veuve Du Vernay brand.
It is designed to be served chilled or over ice – the “Ice” in the name signals that service style.
Serve temperature recommended: about 7-8 °C (or with ice for extra chill).
Taste and aroma:
- Color: bright, vivid rosé.
- Nose: fruity with forward raspberry (and other red berry) aromas.
- Palate: Well-balanced, full-bodied for its category, tangy finish, fresh red fruit flavours.
Size & alcohol strength: 750 ml, approximately 11% ABV
Why it might be a good choice
- The “served on ice” style makes it especially suitable for warm weather climates (like Ibadan) or outdoor social events: the chill plus bubbles make for a refreshing experience.
- As a rosé sparkler, it offers fruit-forward flavour and appeal even to those who aren’t heavy wine drinkers.
- Its design for easy enjoyment means less fuss about aging or complicated pairing — you can enjoy it casually or for celebrations.
Serving/Pairing tips:
- Chill well, maybe serve with a large cube of ice in the glass or pour over a few ice cubes.
- Pair with lighter fare: salads, fruit platters, seafood, or enjoy as aperitif. Because of the rosé/bubbly nature, heavier or strongly tannic dishes might overpower it.
Shelf life: Sparkling wines like this are best consumed relatively soon rather than aged for years. For maximum freshness, purchase bottles recently imported and use within a year or two.
