Kanu Rosé 2007

A brilliant, lively, clear wine, the colour of freshly cut watermelon. Something to excite one's senses! A rather complex nose comprising; pink grapefruit, peppery nasturtium and hints of strawberry jam. A full palate of pomegranate and pink grapefruit with a hint of spiciness in the aftertaste. The wine is intended for early enjoyment.

Serve well chilled. An excellent aperitif or picnic wine. Serve with fresh, seared tuna steaks; veal limone; poached salmon; asparagus quiche; cold crayfish salad; vegetable spring rolls dipped in soy sauce. Ideal with sushi and other Japanese delights.
