“Light salmon colour. Attractive nose with some fresh fruit but some other complexity. Nice wine on the palate. Dry and savoury. Long and lingering. An excellent match with the dish. A nice synergy of flavours.”

“Pale pink hue. Aromas of grapefruit, raspberry and tobacco spice. Dry palate with moderate acidity, juicy raspberry, grapefruit, and pomegranate notes. Medium body with moderate length. The lively raspberry, grapefruit and pomegranate flavours in the wine had increased vibrancy when paired with the chicken tagine giving flesh and lift to the palate. The warm spices in the chicken paired perfectly with the acidity and lifted fruits in the rose.”

“Perfumed with plenty of ripe apple, pear and raspberry with a touch of spice, the palate is light-bodied, with some crisp watermelon and pear notes, just lacks a little balance being a touch sweet/sour in the finish with some phenolic grip.”

“Very pale rose-pink. Creamy/strawberry aromas, touch of chalk. Light, fine palate; soft acidity and gentle finish. With food: Food-friendly style overall.”

“Pale salmon, sweet red berry fruit, crisp and savoury plate with a clean finish, accentuates the fruit of the wine with the spice of the tagine. ”

“Pale rose pink blush. Pretty floral perfume and apple with hints of musk. Slick of sweetness, textural, mouth watering acid finish. This match became a little salty together and made the wine slightly more bitter.”

“Pale pink. More savoury with some dried herbs, lacks vibrancy. SOP, hard acid overrides, chalky phenolics. Food: tends to fill over the acidity, adds flavour and works well with the phenolics.”
