New sparkling pink Pinot

The new 2006 Montana Brut is being introduced to the burgeoning sparkling wine sector by Pernod Ricard.

Adrian Atkinson, wine development manager at Pernod Ricard, said: 'The new Montana Brut is different from the Montana Lindauer Brut and Lindauer Special Select by its more Blanc de Blancs style, being 80% Chardonnay, versus Lindauer which is predominantly Pinot Noir. We believe the two brands will complement each other.'

It will be available in Tesco from mid-March, Thresher from mid-April and Majestic from May, priced at 8.99.
