Unsworth Vineyards 10th Anniversary Rosé 2018
Saanich Peninsula, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, CanadaNovember 2019 was the 10th anniversary of Unsworth Vineyards, and the winery is celebrating the festive occasion with a new, limited release rosé. The pinot noir is from Sannich Peninsula's Sunnydale Vineyard. Pale in hue, and subtle on the palate, this is a sophisticated pink, packaged in a classic Provençal bowling-pin shaped clear glass. Wild strawberries, melons and pears are kissed with pink peppercorn, salts and bergamot, finishing with sour cherry. Acidity swells like the sea, just a couple kilometres away from the vineyard — sheer elegance and celebratory-worthy. The faux-cork should go in favour of a screwcap ensuing the delicate parts of this magical wine are not disturbed. Well done.Tasted: 05 May 2019Tasted by: Treve Ring & Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $28.00 | 750ml | wine club only |
