Shop Review: Rosé salmon with copper reflections. Slow rising fine bubble that forms “lace” and “rosary”. In the nose is complex and elegant with red fruit, citric, exotic, fresh flowers, and notes of dry fruits and dry flowers. Fresh, gentle, and alive. Perfectly integrated “perlage” with serious and subtle flavors of dry fruits, pomegranate and lemonade. Long lasting scent of flowers and herbs.

My Review: This wine is from the very south, close to Africa, and I definitely tasted the exotic flavors. It had a bitter and beachy (sandy and shelfish) smell, with a hint of salt on the mid taste. It had a medium long finish that was a bit sour.

I did not try this wine with food.
