Rosés

Flat Rock Pink Twisted Rosé 2023, Niagara Peninsula, Ontario V.Q.A., Canada: Flat Rock Pink Twisted 2023 is an off-dry, medium-bodied rosé from the Niagara Peninsula wine region. Produced in the saignée method with 56% Pinot Noir 31% Riesling and 13% Gewurztraminer wine grapes, the wine is fragrant and generous on the palate with pink florals, bright red berry fruit, soft citrusy and subtle spicy flavours with a zesty red berry and strawberry finish. As usual, Flat Rock overdelivers on value and taste versus price. A lovely sipper to chill and enjoy on its own or with sushi dishes. Rosé food pairings: poached salmon fillet, vegetarian dishes, Spring green salads topped with steamed freshwater shrimp.
