Avondale Rose 2009

A magnitude of fruit aromas arrest you, jump at you and takes over your nose. They are sweet Muscat flavours of rose petal and potpourri, with complex and interesting Mourvedre flavours following. This adds complexity to the palate. The wine appears sweet, yet it finishes completely dry.
