Fresh, dry, woven.
Naramata Bench's Red Rooster Winery is sporting a much needed new look these days with labels which capture various stages of the winemaking process.
This rose is made entirely from Malbec harvested from around Osoyoos and the skins were left in contact with the juice for two-four hours to achieve its pale pink blush.
The nose is delicate offering whiffs of tangy red berries, white grapefruit, sagebrush and a hint of wildflowers. It's dry and juicy with a slick texture and light flavours of citrus and red berries. Nicely woven with a lively finish it's a wine that's just as good for sipping as it would be for seafood, salads, cheese and charcuterie.
