Wine Recommendation
Gaspereau Vineyards
2004 Rose(Nova Scotia)
This is a deeply pigmented rose made from the free-run juice of estate grown Lucie Kuhlmann and Castel grapes. The vibrant pink hues are a fitting prelude to a nose that is dominated by fresh fruit essences reminiscent of Strawberry freezer jam. Luscious strawberry and blood orange fruit salad flavours greet the palate with a light touch of pithy bitterness for structure. A slight degree of residual sweetness is pleasant but a drier finish would better accentuate the acidity and make this a better food wine -- a role suitable for a wine with such abundance of flavour.
