On the nose subtle red and dark berries. Medium bodied, dry, rather crisp and smooth, showing some red berries with a tiny hint of mineral and good acidity. There is nothing wrong with this rather round and easy drinking rosé but I can’t help comparing it with those southern France rosé wines (with more crispiness and acidity) that I like a bit more.

Medium bodied, dry and smooth, delivering subtle tart apple with a tiny vanilla note carried by decent acidity. I don’t know, but after reading the previous TN:s I find this a bit disappointing.
