A nice, fairly serious Loire rose. This speaks cab franc. Nose cherry, with bell pepper/herbal hints. Substantial acid and mineral. rose petal, seawater mineral. Palate exquisitely balanced - Plenty of acid to support the fruit and keep it fresh, but not overdone, strong mineral backbone - but not at expense of fresh red fruit. A bit salty, but not overwhelming. A pleasing herbal astringency in mid to late palate, along with some rosewater. Incredibly drinkable and refreshing, but also quite complex.

Rose and sausages (Prince Sydney, 40 Hansard Street): Very ashy, whole bunch notes over earthy notes, slight pencil shavings, tart and savoury, plenty of texture sour black fruits. Interesting, challenging.

No detailed notes. Remember maybe too much strawberry.
