Mystery Tickled Pink 2002

One hundred percent Merlot Rosé. A brilliant, lively, clear wine, the colour of freshly cut watermelon. Something to excite one’s senses! A rather complex nose comprising: guava, pink grapefruit, peppery nasturtium and hints of strawberry jam. A full palate of pomegranate and pink grapefruit with a hint of spiciness in the aftertaste. Drinking well now.

Serve well chilled. An excellent aperitif or picnic wine. Serve with fresh seared tuna steaks; veal limone; poached salmon; asparagus quiche; cold crayfish salad; vegetable spring rolls dipped in soy sauce; ideal with sushi and other Japanese delights.
