Avontuur Rosé 2023

It is a fruit basket of aromas with zesty ruby grapefruit and nuances of pink candy as the wine opens up. The palate is light and fresh with a well-balanced crispness. A fruity Rosé with subtle notes of strawberry in the background, ideal for everyday enjoyment.

A versatile wine, perfect for lunch or a light supper with friends. Will compliment fresh seafood and sushi dishes.
