This is not a rose. All Riesling, Dry but has the slightest touch of sweetness. Taste like NOTL Riesling some apricot, lemon, green apple. Very refreshing and easy to "put back". Raisin bread and apple on the nose. Bubbles are not delicate by any means. but still has a good moutfeel. Goes with anything sushi or light seafood, or sitting on a beach with a bag of chips and a ghetto blaster. Amazing value, have had before and will continue to buy more.
