Bursting with maraschino cherry aromas, and vibrant colour. This is a rose of celebration: easy to drink, juicy and tasty with ripe field berries. Some red currant on the finish. Try it with grilled salmon or chicken.

Rosé food pairings: grilled veggie sandwiches, a selection of mild cheese.

Reviews and Ratings

Craig Kuziemsky rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Bursting with watermelon and rose aromas followed by watermelon, strawberry and raspberry on the palate with a touch of cream on the finish.
Corinna Horton rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Cherry, citrus, and floral notes define a wine that is at once feminine and crisp, and priced under twenty bucks.

The nose bears hints of strawberries and pomegranate, but as a true rose you’ll find it dry, slightly acidic and well balanced, never sweet. It drips with fruit, opening as it warms in your glass under your touch… raspberry, cherry, a whisper of grapefruit zest, the undertone of red current… then a trace of rose petal and lavender.

Try it with a good creamy Brie or Camembert, preferably a triple cream. Also a good choice with a bit of spice, like a mild, nutty Thai curry, pair it with your favorite selection of grilled vegetables or a sassy salmon steak.
Monique Sosa - Accredited Sommelier rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Yummy rhubarb strawberry and somewhat off-dry. Still with some citrus-ey crispness. I call it one sexy bottle of wine! Light-medium body (for a rose), interesting light raspberry pink appearance and a sweet and tangy rhubarb finish. It should pair nicely with spicy Thai meals indeed!
A vibrant rose with bright cherry notes and some watermelon with rosehip. Sofia is the name of movie director (and winemaker) Francis Ford Coppola's daughter. - Community Wine Reviews
