Mora Albi Rosé 2024

A 100% Pinot Noir wine with delicate, palest sugar plum pink hues in the glass. There is whipped butter, strawberries and pineapple and a note of watermelon rind. Some cantaloupe and ruby grapefruit citrus. This packs remarkable fruit for its colour and finishes with some peach tea and baked salt notes on the finish. Bone dry and crisp, a mix of Pink Lady apples and subtle tropical, it’s a wine if served blindfolded the white wine drinkers and light red wine drinkers will enjoy. For me, I’d show off its glimmer in some cut crystal goblets and eat smoked salmon on blinis at any time of the day. Drink now and often.
