Tasting Notes
Appearance
Pale salmon pink with brilliant clarity and a delicate hue — the attractive, refined colour of a rosé made with a light touch and careful winemaking. The pale colour reflects the gentle extraction and short skin contact that define the Pale & Dry style.
Aroma
Subtle and inviting — strawberry and red berries create an elegant aromatic profile, with watermelon and pomegranate adding freshness and lift. A touch of spice provides complexity and interest, with the delicate aromatic intensity reflecting the wine’s refined and approachable character.
Palate
Finely balanced and elegantly structured — strawberry, red berries, watermelon, and pomegranate flow through seamlessly, with a touch of spice adding depth and complexity. The textured, savoury dry finish is the hallmark of the Pale & Dry style — versatile, refreshing, and thoroughly enjoyable without ever becoming cloying.
Pairs With
Perfect for picnics, poolside, events, and single-serve occasions. Pairs beautifully with grilled prawns, fresh salads, chicken Caesar, sushi, antipasti, soft cheeses, Mediterranean dishes, and light pasta — a refined, food-friendly rosé in a perfectly convenient piccolo format.
