Juno Rosé 2008

Colour: A bright, attractive deep salmon-pink colour
Nose: Abundant floral tones and strawberries on the nose.
Palate: Refreshingly crisp palate with strawberry, ruby grapefruit and watermelon. The palate is fresh and fruity but definitely not too sweet. This Rose has a clean, crisp finish that lingers pleasantly.

This off-dry Rosé would be good with many fish dishes, especially with salmon and pink-fleshed trout; with cooked lobster dishes and a seafood soup or stew. Because of its typical character, it would work very well with baked ham; Peking duck; a rabbit casserole and Thai noodle dishes.ROSé AND CHEESEUnfortunately this is not really a cheese wine.
