Quails' Gate Rosé 2013
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThis wine is nearly as well known as the Stewart family themselves, celebrating 25 years with Quails’ Gate in 2014. Always a great value go-to rosé every year, this vintage surpasses all in memory as the best yet. A blend of gamay, pinot noir and pinot gris transform into fresh wild strawberries, mouth watering upon first whiff and followed up by raspberry blossoms. The beauty pale pink hue reflects what’s in the glass: juicy watermelon, strawberries, baked rhubarb and elderflower on a silky palate, finishing dry and fruity with a pretty thorny rosé fragrance. Partner with a patio and plate of charcuterie.Tasted: 21 March 2015Tasted by: Prices:BC | $16.00 | 750ml | winery direct, VQA wine shops |
