Winery review: This delightful salmon-pink wine is produced using the traditional saignée process. After macerating on the skins for approximately 10 hours, the juice is then pumped off and fermented in temperature-controlled, stainless steel tanks. Aromatics of strawberries and crushed red fruit leap from the glass. In the mouth, it is fresh with excellent acidity, some mineral components and good length. Very food friendly, it is a great companion to just about anything you want to throw at it.
My review: The nose on this wine was overwhelmingly grapefruit scented. The taste of the wine reminded me of sour patch kids. First it was sour, then it was sweet. The finish was extremely tart. This is definitely a wine that needs food and a person who loves candy.
I tried this wine without food.
