Domaine Bousquet, Rosé 2018, Tupungato, Uco Valley, Mendoza, Argentina

Tasting Note: This rosé has the most beautiful hue of salmon-peach color and shows the heights new-world rosés can reach.

Medium-intensity salmon in color, this wine has an aromatic nose of red cherry, strawberry, orange citrus and blossom.

On the palate the dry, medium-bodied rosé delivers medium-intensity, red-fruit flavors suggested on the nose supported by medium acidity and completes with a medium-plus finish.

There is balance between the fruit and floral structure.

The rosé has a bright, steely texture that refreshes the palate.

A rosé to repeat.
