Bridge Lane is known not only for their wine varietals but also for their wine vessels: boxed, canned, bottled and kegged, as their motto states. While they’ve previously created canned rosé and canned sparkling wine, Bridge Lane’s latest release is the best of both worlds: a canned sparkling rosé. We chatted with general manager Ami Opisso to learn all about the fantastic summer wine that’s perfect on a hot July day.
Style: Fresh and spritzy, with a hint of sweetness
Flavor profile: Essence of fresh summer strawberries and peaches
Pairs with: Light dishes, like fresh shellfish or salads, or dishes with a little spice, like grilled ribs. But Bridge Lane’s favorite pairing for sparkling rosé is fried chicken!
Aging process: With a bright, fresh rosé like this one, long aging isn’t necessary. It’s stainless steel fermented and aged before canning to preserve freshness and pure fruitiness.
Ideal serving temp: Cold — around 40 degrees Fahrenheit. Achieve this with 15 minutes in the freezer or 10 minutes in a bucket of ice.
On the nose: This new release has notes of sweet red fruits like cherries and watermelon.
To hold or not to hold: As with most rosés, this wine is made to enjoy right away.
Best time to drink: Poolside or on a boat. The can is the perfect portable summer sipping companion. But always enjoy it responsibly!
Bridge Lane’s Bubbles rosé in a can is available for purchase for $28/four-pack of slim cans (250ml) at their Mattituck tasting room: 35 Cox Neck Road, Mattituck.
