Elyse
Rosé Blend
This a blend of Grenache Mourvèdre & Syrah! However, it reminded me of a good Tempranillo we had in Rioja at the Hotel Marqués de Riscal we stayed at in 2015. Beautiful Hotel designed by the Architect who did the Guggenheim Museums. The producer is one in the same,
The body glides on the palate. It exhibits the right level of sweetness. Excellent viscosity. Blood orange, rhubarb, strawberries, cherries & watermelon. The perfect intensity of minerality, soft chalkiness & white spice with pink rose petals. Excellent acidity with a beautifully balanced & polish finish.

A blend of 60% Mourvèdre, 20% Syrah & 20% Grenache. Light salmon color with aromas of fresh berry fruits, floral and subtle spices. On the palate, this Provence style Rose, shows flavors of strawberry and raspberry, crisp with lively acidity. Soft drying tannins, light body ending with a mineral character. Tasting Sample!
