Reviews of the 2024 Petit Rouge:

89 points, Marcus Ellis, Halliday Wine Companion, December 2024:
Not the Valle d’Aosta variety of the same name, but rather the companion to the Petit Blanc in the range, and also made from muscat: muscat rouge à petits grains. This was fermented cool, matured on lees for six weeks, then carbonated. A pale, peachy pink and redolent of strawberries, musk sticks, talc, rosewater and orange blossom, this is perky and vibrant with fruit sweetness swelling the palate, finishing dry. This is frivolity in a bottle, and more power to it.

90 points, SA Wine Guide 2025, Shanteh Wale:
Nectarine, white plum and lychee juice. A hint of watermelon candy and bergamot. There is a tickle of sweetness but so lightly dolloped, it’s barely perceivable. Instead, you get a wash of running acidity and a lovely prickle of spritz. Fun and flirty. Drink now.
