J. Bouchon Reserva Rosé 2017
Valle del Maule, Region del Valle Central, ChileThis rosé is a blend of cabernet sauvignon and pais, the indigenous grape of Chile. This is from Maule, in the dry coastal area of Mingre, 45km from the ocean and granitic soils around 200m. After a cool maceration this fermented and spent time in stainless to preserve fresh, crisp, marine influenced fruit. Tight raspberry, white cherry is infiltrated with dried herbs and tightened with grapefruit pith, adding a nice slick of grip to this dry, fresh rosé, kissed with raspberries on the end. Lovely choice for food, a welcome show of less-is-more, and great value.Tasted: 30 June 2018Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:BC | $15.99 | 750ml | private wine shops |
