Pink coral color. Aromas and flavors of strawberry tops, raspberry bush, cotton candy, and garden herbs with a satiny, tangy, dry light-to-medium body and an interesting, agreeable finish displaying notes of raspberry, strawberry greek yogurt, blood orange and cranberry, and garden herbs. Fruity and approachable at first blush but there is enough stuffing here with the bright acidity and herbaceous finish to make this a wine able to carry you through the beginning of dinner service.

Off-Dry Rose

About

Off-Dry Rose

Off-dry wines are slightly sweet wines that are great for sipping on their own or throughout a meal. They're different from dessert wines in that they contain considerably less residual sugar and have only a softly perceptible sweetness.
