A perfect aperitif when the sun is warm but the air is brisk w/ saline... bitter grapefruit peel, softened by a rich mousse and red berry flavors.

gotta admit that i don’t think the label lends itself to expressing the quality of the wine. a pretty rosé with subtle strawberry and pink of course) grapefruit.

Sparkling rose from Portugal, blend of baga and bical. If you know a better way to slide in off the beach and into happy hour on the deck, speak now.

Sharp crisp apples with a dry finish. Very tasty. But not as excellent as the rose from the San winery.
