Eikendal Rose 2011

Name: Eikendal Rose 2011
Brand: Eikendal

The Eikendal Rosé has lovely berry, cherry, and strawberries and cream aromas on the nose, that follows through to the palate. The wine has a full minty mouth-feel, with a lively, delicate acidity, and a long, pleasing finish.

Enjoy with smoked chicken salad, a relaxed summer picnic, or simply on its own.
