Love this one. But full warning – it’s unfined and unfiltered and that extra year in the bottle has resulted in a bit of sediment (well….maybe more than a bit). You see this in red wines with age, so it’s also expected in the pink ones – it just happened more quickly in this particular bottling. We’ll admit that the floaties can look a little scary in the bottle, but don’t let them frighten you off. Because you don’t want to miss this one – it’s tangy and tart with pink grapefruit notes. Breakfast wine, if you’re in need of one. Super refreshing – almost bracingly so. So just decant it. Or pour it slowly straight into your glass. Or plastic cup…. Because this one is just about perfect for porch pounding. (Or park bench pounding, if you’re not in possession of an actual porch.)
