Tasting Notes
The 2018 rosé is fermented in stainless steel to preserve the wine’s natural freshness and primary fruit flavours. It is a blend of Pinot Meunier, Frontenac and L’Acadie Blanc. A pale, peachy hue shines from the glass. Delicate red-fruit nose of wild strawberry and cherry with accents of fresh mint. Zesty pink-grapefruit and chalky minerality frame the palate leading to a refreshing finish. Just a touch of residual sweetness means that this wine shows exceptional balance and can easily be enjoyed on it’s own or paired with cured meats, salty cheeses or a wide range of lighter fare.
Our Thoughts
Pinot-driven, of Noir and Pinot Meunier with tiny amounts of Geisenheim and Frontenac Rouge. Arid, rusty, simply and purposefully pale red that emerges straight from the earth. Has a plasma sensation, with lemon and dry red earth. Natural feel. A cure of veal. More structured than even its makers are giving early credit for. A portal to the more “serious” solo, mano a mano Pinot/Pinot to come. A hue and style originated and heading in the right direction. – Michael Godel, wine critic and judge for Wine Align
