De Grendel Rosé 2017

Name: De Grendel Rosé 2017
Brand: De Grendel
SKU: 42526

This beautifully striking wine, pale salmon pink in colour, belies an exceptionally floral and perfumed nose with enticingly sweet nuances of pear and peach blossom carried out of the glass by wafts of candy floss and bubblegum. The delightfully enticing nose precedes a sweet entry that dries out on the palate into crisp flavors of dried cranberry and quince before finishing with a sumptuous zesty acidity.

A dry, perfumed and fruity rosé that is perfect for easy sipping on a sweltering day.
