Our Thoughts on this wine.....

Raspberry and bramble notes are apparent on the nose
and intensify on the palate of this juicy, strawberry and watermelon-kissed wine. This Rose shows an enticing light pink color as well as notes of tart strawberries, white peach, and cherry blossoms. It's medium-bodied and refreshingly dry yet juicy at the same time,  well-balanced and elegant. 
This is a perfect patio wine to be enjoyed on its own as a aperitif or with lighter dishes.
Pairs with salads, roasted vegetables, Tuna, Chicken and hamburgers.

A bit about Rhone Valley Wine

To give the most simplified version of history imaginable: In the 1st Century, the Greeks began producing wine near Marseille in the very Southern part of the Rhone Valley

In the North, the Romans planted vines along the crazy steep hills and started the first commercial vineyards in the region.

When the Romans and Greeks left to do Roman and Greek things elsewhere, Rhone wine production took a bit of a hiatus until the 13th century, when the Popes settled in Avignon and had vines planted all around the Southern Rhone. 

Then in 1936 (…just going to casually skip over 6 centuries here), the Pope’s summer residency near Avignon — the ever-famous Chateauneuf-du-Pape — became the first appellation in France.

This was done in order to try to curtail wine fraud, because winemakers were claiming their wines came from the prestigious Chateauneuf-du-Pape area, but they were actually much lower quality wines from elsewhere in the region and the Pope didn’t want the reputation of his wines to be tarnished.
