What a great summer crusher.
This honest vinho verde styled rose doesn't try to be anything other than that and succeeds as one the happiest summer wines you can get from the LCBO.
Strawberry and lime zest with a bit of mild green herbs on the nose, intense strawberry, white peach, more lime and a touch of herbaceousness on the finish and of course that vinho verde spritz!
I really can appreciate this low alcohol rose max-chilled in this 2019 heat. Wouldn't want to drink anything else right now.
And all this for UNDER $10! Saude!
Simple patio sipper, low in alcohol, low in price & has a pleasant taste
Description: Red snapper in colour with a medium+ intense nose and light mousse. This wine features cherry, strawberry & lemon. Light body with good acidity and an average length.
