MadFish Rosé
$23.00
Rosé is an all occasion wine full of freshness, brightness, crispness, and lightness. Proper rosé is made from the gentle and short extraction of juice from red grape varieties to obtain only the lightest tinges of pinks from the grape skins. After this extraction, rosé is largely made in the same way as white wine.
Many, even most, red grape varieties or blends thereof are suitable for making rosé. Different varieties give different flavours and colours and there is an official colour coding that refers to the flesh of fruits including: cantelope, peach, red currant, ruby grapefruit, mango and mandarin.

TASTING NOTE
Vintage
Pale salmon in appearance, with a gleam of copper. After a swirl or two, subtle pink floral notes such a rose petals and hibiscus leap from the glass, followed by a fruit basket of fresh cherries, white strawberries and pomegranate. The red berry perfumes make way for to a plethora of pithy, orange citrus flavours and a red fruit sweetness that lingers after the first sip. Tart cranberry, red apple skin and raspberry sorbet are found on the finish, complemented by a fresh, sea spray acidity that sets the scene for a perfect summer afternoon.
Food Match
Great with shared plates of chargrilled octopus, Parmesan and pumpkin arancini, grilled chorizo, Jamon Iberico and crusty bread.
Recommended Cellaring
Drink now or over the next two years.
