Mission Hill Reserve Rosé 2023

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe MHFE Reserve Rosé comes from estate vineyards in Osoyoos and Oliver, where the grapes in play are merlot, syrah, and pinot noir. Following up on the excellent 2022, 2023 presents with a crisp citrus vibe, pitching vibrant watermelons, strawberries, and rhubarb, and while there is a hint of sweet fruit on the nose, it is bone dry on the palate. It is a winning combination for serious rosé drinkers. Predominately set in stainless steel, with a small percentage of neutral French oak, that is just enough to keep the palate creamy and texturally attractive. Ready to drink with prawns, crab cakes, smoked salmon, and more? Again, it is a delicious style that should make Provence nervous.Tasted: 15 May 2024Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
