The spring pinks continue… I’m working on a few shots for the Canon Photo5 competition, in the process I’ve realised that I suck at taking pictures of anything but wine bottles or my cat. It’s not that bad, but it seems like it. Anyway, the wine. The chaps at Artazuri have lifted the packing up to the level of whats inside the bottle here. This is another wine that is now under screwcrap.

I love the colour, bright pinky red. Grenache is a very handy grape for rose wines, it tends to give you flavours more in the raspberry range than strawberry, but a few wild herbs to keep things interesting. That describes this wine perfectly: the nose is full raspberry, with a bit of strawberry and red apple with a touch of wild herbs. It’s kind of juicy and textured in the mouth, with an acid kick. Straight forward and bone dry, it shows good intensity and bold flavour for a rose. Very good with food too, I had this with a roast chicken and it matched up beautifully. 89 Pts.
