Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
True to its name, this rosé has tint that can only be described
as rose petal pink. Aromas of ripe melons and tropical flowers
mix with hints of white peach. This rosé explodes with flavors
of raspberry, strawberry, and a zesty finish of lemon. Exotic
melon flavors with a soft minerality linger on the palate.
Winemaker Notes
Mourvèdre (more-VEH-drha), also known as Mataró or
Monastrell, is a red grape varietal that historically has been grown in France and Spain. It does well in warm to hot climates making it a perfect addition to Texas winemaking. This Mourvèdre Rosé was made using the maceration method. The red grapes were crushed slightly, and fermentation was started on the skins to give a pink color. After a few hours, the skins were removed, and the wine continued to ferment.
Food Pairing Notes
Bruschetta, fig jam with goat cheese on brioche toast, honeyglazed salmon, pulled pork street tacos, asparagus with bacon and parmesan, or fresh melon popsicles.
