Maan Farms Raspberry 2018
Fraser Valley, British Columbia, CanadaGorgeous crimson with a vibrant pink-rim, this killer fruit wine radiates the essence of raspberry. The nose is alive with tangy red berry aromas as well as the green leafy earthiness of the entire raspberry cane. The flavours are fresh and lively with a delicious sweet/tart aspect. Intense and lip-smacking, sizzling acidity balances the potent fruit in a way that dries out the wine's fruity sweetness. Try drinking this in the spirit of decent Beaujolias: with a juicy and spicy grilled merguez sausage, or with tender goat roti. Maan Farms is an Abbotsford institution, run by an exuberant family who have wisely engaged respected consuntant Laurent Lafuente to work with Gaurav Maan on the fruit wines.Tasted: 31 August 2019Tasted by: DJ KearneyPrices:BC | $20.00 | 750ml | winery direct, private wine shops |
