Hampton Water, a premium rosé brand created by award-winning music icon Jon Bon Jovi, his son Jesse Bongiovi, and acclaimed French winemaker Gérard Bertrand, launched Hampton Water Bubbly, a sparkling rosé from the South of France.
Infusing its signature blend of Hampton’s lifestyle and French winemaking tradition with a playful pop of bubbles, Hampton Water Bubbly celebrates everyday moments with a new and different sparkling rosé experience, the company says.
“We’re thrilled to introduce Hampton Water Bubbly," said Co-Founder Jon Bon Jovi, in a statement. “Sparkling wine has long been reserved only for special occasions, but Hampton Water Bubbly is here to change that.
“Ever since consumers caught on to our still rosé, we’ve been asked about releasing a sparkling version,” he continues. “We believe that rosé should be fun and easy to enjoy and we’re bringing that same sentiment as we enter the sparkling rosé category, by introducing a wine that’s less about exclusivity, and more about enjoyment. I look forward to sharing this incredible new blend with friends and family for many years to come.”
A lively and fresh wine, Hampton Water Bubbly features Grenache, a non-traditional but key component of the Hampton Water blend, the company notes.
“When creating Hampton Water Bubbly, it was very important to me to keep the Grenache Noir grape included in the blend, which allows our signature South of France style to shine through,” said Lead Winemaker Gérard Bertrand, in a statement. “This new addition to our portfolio delivers the quality and craftsmanship you expect from Hampton Water, while bringing a vibrant expression to the world of sparkling wines. We can’t wait for wine lovers to experience the lively spirit of Hampton Water Bubbly in every sip.”
Co-Founder Jesse Bongiovi, added: “With our still rosé up 28% in the last 12 months — double-digits ahead of the Premium Rosé category — we wanted to expand on this growth and give consumers what they were asking for. We saw a real opportunity to shake up the sparkling category with a laid-back, never-fussy wine. With Hampton Water Bubbly, we’re removing the intimidation factor around sparkling wine with the belief that it doesn't have to be reserved for those rare moments; it can be enjoyed every day, on any occasion. Even if that occasion is just toasting to the start of a new week.”
With a blend of 47% Pinot Noir, 30% Grenache and 23% Chardonnay, and less than 5 grams of sugar in each liter, Hampton Water Bubbly enchants with its pale pink color and complex nose of red fruit, citrus and floral aromas, the company says. On the palate, it’s crisp, well-balanced, and intense, with fine, persistent bubbles, giving a beautiful harmony of character, depth and roundness, it adds.
Packaged in a 750-ml bottle, Hampton Water Bubbly is available for purchase at retailers nationwide for a suggested retail price of $29.99.
