How this wine feels

The fruit arrives smoothly, with a rounded middle and very little grip. Then a crisp edge brings the finish into focus. It combines soft texture with noticeable freshness, so it should appeal if you like your rosé generous but lively.

The sliders show how strongly each characteristic comes through. Higher does not mean better.
