The Pawn - El Desperado Rose
EL DESPERADO SANGIOVESE TEMPRANILLO ROSE
Vineyard Location: Macclesfield, Adelaide Hills, South Australia
Alcohol: 12.75%
This Rose is made from grapes sourced from our Macclesfield vineyard. A delicate pale salmon hue signifies this as a wine to be consumed on a warm summers day, with food and friends. It shows lifted floral aromas mixed with freshly picked strawberries. The wine has a balanced acidity with a variety layered complexity that will astonish those drinkers expecting a simple quaffer. The palate has delicate hints of rose petal and Turkish delight, and should be consumed chilled or on ice.
* For your drinking pleasure, when the rose on the label changes to reveal the skull (16°), it indicates the wine will need to be put on ice or back in the fridge.
Goes Best WithSpring lunches, lazy Saturday BBQ’s & and summer afternoons listening to the grass grow.
