Tokara Rosé 2018

The wine has a vibrant Salmon pink colour to it, which will evolve to an intense onionskin colour with time.
The nose has aromas of fresh cranberries and strawberries with a hint of white pepper and dried herbs.
The palate is fresh and crisp and bursts with juicy berry flavours on the palate. There is a hint of creaminess on the mid-palate, which leads to a dry finish that leaves the palate clean and refreshed.

Drink on its own on warm summer days or paired with a light lunch of salmon trout and a fresh green salad.
