Tokara Rosé 2023

The wine has a blush pink colour with a vibrant core. The nose is a medley of sweet ripe red berries including fresh strawberries and cranberries with alluring rosewater undertones. The palate is fresh and crisp and bursts with juicy berry flavours. There is a delicate acidity (not tart) on the mid-palate which focusses flavours and keeps the wine refreshing.

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