Villa Maria Private Bin Lighter Rosé 2017

Description

This lighter Rosé displays fresh, vibrant cranberry and strawberry aromas on the nose. The palate is delicately balanced, smooth and refreshing. (Residual Sugar: 8.7gL).

This blend is predominantly Pinot Noir with some Pinot Gris and Merlot elements. The fruit for this lighter alcohol wine was carefully selected from early ripening varieties (predominantly Pinot Noir) and vineyard sites that express ripe flavours and acidity at lower sugar levels than our standard wines. The fruit is gently handled and cool fermented in the winery to ensure the wine has bright aromatics and fresh fruit flavours, without compromising the palate weight, texture and length. The alcohol level was achieved naturally from the fermentation of the grape sugars, without intervention.

Food Pairing: Served chilled, this is an excellent aperitif wine and perfect with summer salads, charcuterie and most seafood dishes.
