A good way to describe this wine is 'sweet and sour'. It has a high level of natural sweetness which is then balanced by acidity. This Rosé is a very versatile wine that can be enjoyed at any time of the year with a wide variety of food. Is a perfect accompaniment for spicy asian food and is best served chilled. Does not benefit from extended cellaring, should be enjoyed while young.
