Nice crisp rosé versatile with food. Score: 90/100.

Tasting Note: Orange-Red in colour with good acidity, medium intense nose & a long length on the finish. This wine features: Cherry, pomegranate, cranberry & white pepper.

Negatives: None

Interesting Point: Organic

Winemaker’s Note: “Grapes were harvested and loaded directly into the press. Cold juice settling and racking was followed by inoculation with non-aroma enhancing organic yeast and a cool fermentation that spanned four weeks. Fermentation was halted early to leave a slight residual sugar to balance acidity and alcohol. Bentonite clay fining was used prior to sterile filtration and bottling.”

Pairings: Drink this now or in 2 – 3 years on its own or pair it with pork souvlaki.

My Opinion: Highly Recommended
