Poured into the glass with a pale salmon hue, this rosé captivates with bright aromas of fresh strawberry and watermelon, lifted by subtle rose petal notes and a touch of herbal freshness from hints of white tea and mint. On the palate, it delivers a clean, palate-cleansing experience thanks to its lively acidity—ideal for cutting through rich dishes or enjoying solo as a light-hearted companion to sunny days. The interplay of fruit-forward flavors like white raspberries and wild strawberries is artfully balanced by its mineral-driven backbone, creating a wine that’s both approachable and sophisticated.
