This wine pours a vibrant and pale pink, almost pastel. Transparent around the edges. It has an aroma of crushed strawberry and raspberry, followed by a thrilling kiss of bitter cherry and red currants.

Best enjoyed in the first 3 years after vintage. Versatile with food, particularly salads, pasta, lightly spiced curries and cold meats. Goats cheese works well as does a creamy blue.

The palate is just off-dry in style with a pleasing richness that fills the mouth, there is an abundance of fruit carried along by gentle acidity and the faintest inflection of dried sage. Lingering on the palate with deceptive weight and complexity, this is a perfect summer style of Rose with ample weight and texture.
