This is a blend of 80% Shiraz and 20% Malbec. I sampled this wine from Riedel ‘O’ Series Pinot/Nebbiolo (414/7) glasses.
Tasting Note: Cherry red in colour. The nose has aromas of pomegranate, strawberry, rose petals and a hint of yeast. The palate exhibits good depth of flavour and provides excellent crisp acidity leading into the finish. There is no hint of residual sugar that can spoil the vibrancy of some Rosé style wines.
When to Drink: I think that this will be best consumed while the fruit remains prominent and the palate retains its vibrancy. 2006 – 2007
Verdict: A Rosé that gives you something to think about, while remaining refreshing to drink. 88 points.
