£8.00 at Tesco's UK. Screw Cap. Tasted well chilled, July 2016.
One of best Rose wines I've ever had: explosive flavour. Finished dry after crushed cherries and red peaches, rose petals, swirling acidity. This is no pale whimpy Rose. It isn't particularly dark in colour - some New World Rose can be - but don't let that fool you. This is serious stuff...with a joke price. Drink on it's own but it will go well with BBQ outdoor food or roasted veg or seafood. I had it with a seafood pasta, which was perfect match. It's so intensely flavoured and dry that food suits it well.
Marked it Gold.
VFM? Bargain. Defo buy again if I can get a current or near current vintage - drink it young and fresh!
