Rosé and Netflix, it’s pretty good combo if you ask me and it seemed to pair with Gotham very well 😋

This Menhir Salento Novementi Rosato comes from Salento in Italy. It’s made from the Negroamaro grape variety which is native to southern Italy (aka the ‘heel’ of Italy). Negro means black which makes sense as this variety tends to produce very deep red wines.

I found it the colour of watermelon 🍉 on the eye. The nose made me think of tropical sherbet (well actually tropical raro for the Kiwis out there who know what that is), strawberries and those banana hard marshmallow lollies. While in the mouth it has a ceamy well rounded texture with a very smooth citrus acidic finish and thirst quenching hints of watermelon and cranberry. Yum!

A big thanks to Vino Bambino for this sample!

All opinions are based on my own taste buds. Wine is subjective & always evolving, so make sure you drink what you enjoy!

Shockingly bad. 2016 on 22 July 17. Sticky sweet and sour. From Cork, normally sells the best. L likes. Watermelon color & taste. HiC.

Not remarkable, but not bad. Drank chilled. Tart but not sour, with a surprisingly creamy finish.
