Mission Hill Five Vineyards Rosé 2017

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe 2017 harvest, lasted 66 days at Mission Hill and is characterised as one of extremes. It started late, was wet and cool early and then record-breaking dry in July and August shrinking the crop but intensifying flavours, reminiscent of the highly lauded 2009 vintage. This rosé is all southern fruit, mixing 45/35/20 merlot, shiraz and pinot noir with a light pink orange tint. Look for a fruity, red cherry nose with a whiff of pepper. Strawberries and watermelons dominate the slightly coarse palate. A budget and patio-friendly juicy rosé, perfect for a beet and goat cheese salad. Good value.Tasted: 01 June 2018Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
