A classy rose embodying a punch unexpected from such a pale wine. The nose exhibits white peach and citrus and hints of woody notes from the use of a little mature oak. The flavors start with white peach and lemon, and then echo with notes of spices. A firm acid level gives structure to the whole.
Ideal with seafood.
