Arnot-Roberts began making Rosé from Touriga Nacional in 2010. They were compelled by the grape’s deep color, brilliant acidity and aromatic complexity even at low sugar content. Touriga is a late-ripening Portuguese variety that needs some heat to mature, and they have sought out vineyards suited to this hearty variety.
TASTING NOTES: Aroma is crisp golden apple and white flower. Palate shows great acidity, very light soft grip, ripe strawberries, and zippy minerality.
FOOD PAIRINGS: A very dry bottle of Rose whose elegant fruit and mineral finish makes any food pairing just that more dynamic.
