Description
Bright salmon and apricot in colour, the nose is quite scented with honeysuckle, poached tamarillo and rhubarb. In the mouth there is an initial sweet berry fruit sensation balanced by fresh acidity and savoury elements leading to some herbal notes giving good length to the finish. A ’field blend’ of our late red varieties from across Europe.
This wine may develop a harmless deposit with time

Straight up, I have to say, when I saw the colour of this Rosé I thought, this is going to have some attitude. I mean, it has a serious yet lovely, deep-ish copper colour (the photo doesn’t do it justice). When I tasted it and discovered that, yes, there was intent, boldness, and body, it proved to be in the ‘good attitude’ realm thanks to an overarching freshness across the palate. There’s generosity of flavour from a bundle of red berries, a nice soft spiciness and texture, and good ‘weight’ to it too while finishing long and dry. This is not a ‘shrinking violet’ of a Rosé but it maintains its appeal as a refreshing, year-round, chillaxing style of wine.
