Quails' Gate Rosé 2020

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaPouring a pale pink hue, the 2020 QG Rosé is based on pinot noir gamay and pinot meunier, as it was for the first time in 2019. Each was vinified separately and coolly in stainless after four hours of skin contact and was blended post ferment. This is a slender, sleek, lighter pink, with crushed strawberries, pretty pink florals, and a slick of rasped spice and twist of orange on the bright finish. Less is more, and they captured it here in this easy, crack-now rosé, ideal for this summer.Tasted: 28 April 2021Tasted by: Prices:

Quails' Gate Rosé 2020

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaA gamay, pinot noir, pinot meunier blend with four-hour skin contact behind its pale colour. It is light and citrusy with delicate red fruits and a touch of rosemary. It's crisp, refreshing, and dry, easy drinking, but with enough savouriness to add intrigue. At this price, this should be one of your go-to rosés. Recommended.Tasted: 01 May 2021Tasted by: Prices:
