Bonny Doon Vineyard Vin Gris de Cigare 2020

This rosé from the USA packs some serious personality and has been made with a fruit salad of grape varieties – no shy rosé here! Mid salmon pink, it is quite strongly aromatic with an attractive mix of peach skin and apricot aromas with just a touch of strawberry – for a rosé it certainly carries a lot more white than red fruit characters. A dry palate follows, more in the savoury, earthy spectrum with perfumed musk, lychee and spicy flavours. The is a good texture too so very food friendly and could match up well with a wide range of dishes, from spicy fish tacos through to a salad of prosciutto and melon.
