2021 – O Tempo Voa

Description

General Info:

Our Rose pays homage to the small region of Tavel within the Rhone Valley of France. Here they craft full bodied roses worthy of aging but can be enjoyed young as well. This rose is the result of skin contact and then a direct pressing of the must. With the complexity that we achieved in our Tinto Moderno, we seized the opportunity to use those same varieties in this wine. Enjoy now or wait for the complexity to emerge as it ages

Tasting Notes:

A subtle touch of oak uplifts the strawberry, pomegranate, and vinous aromas of this full-bodied rosé. The weight of the palate is complemented by the wine’s dryness and moderate acidity. The finish lingers as the subtleties arise as they marry with the prominent elements of the nose and palate.

Food Pairings:

As a more full-bodied rose, our wine complements aged cheeses and all sort of charcuterie, pan seared salmon, rotisserie chicken, and grilled pork chops with potato gratin..
