No mention of the grape variety here, but there’s no need. One sniff, one taste and you are up for a glass. Maybe two. Bright confectionery pink. Red cherry, cranberry, redcurrant scents rise with a touch of musk. The taste buds are on alert. They won’t be disappointed. This youthful Tassie rosé brings a lot to the glass, combining freshness with energy and verve as it works its way across the tongue, dispensing a Bandol-like dusty, musky, dryness. Delicate in flavour, framed in edgy, fine acidity and middle palate texture. This is one serious rosé to be enjoyed with or without food. So versatile.
