Redstone Rosé VQA 2013
$15.95
Beamsville Bench (Niagara)
Redstone is the latest venture by Moray Tawse to complement his name sake Tawse Winery in Niagara. Still under construction, Redstone will have a locally-inspired restaurant for you to visit on your next Niagara wine tour. We are excited to introduce you to Redstone & to include their wine in your One Dozen Rosés. This wine was just released and has limited production.
Savvy Sommelier Tasting Notes: “Absolutely too easy to drink” commented Monique as the Savvy Sommelier Team sampled this wine. Everything about this wine reminded us of country fair candy apples – the colour, the rich & delicious aromas & taste. While these descriptors conjure sweet thoughts, this Rosé is anything but sweet. Full bodied with juicy notes of honeysuckle, nectarine and white peaches, this is a well balanced wine with a dry finish.
Suggested Food Pairing: Grilled salmon, beet salad or Pad Thai would set the flavours of this wine in motion for an absolutely delicious food & wine pairing.
Harwood “Friends” Rosé VQA 2011
$18.00
Prince Edward County
A small winery that proudly operates exclusively on solar power, Harwood Estates experiments with all kinds of technologies & grape varieties. This ‘Friends’ Rosé is created using Frontenac Gris grapes – a hearty hybrid – that is not widely known…or tasted. Wait until you try this wine! Named ‘Friends’ for the simple reason that the winemaker thinks that this an easy drinking wine to serve when your friends are together during the summer.
Savvy Sommelier Tasting Notes: WOW! What a full bodied Rosé. Usually as wine ages, it changes colour, but when our Savvy Sommeliers put glasses of the 2011 & 2013 vintage side-by-side, the colour surprisingly appeared to be identical. The difference is noticeable in the aromas & taste.
Reminiscent aromas of sweet cotton candy & candy apple, there is a sweetness on the nose, but definitely not in the taste. Flavours of over ripe red cherries, juicy strawberries, even strawberry jam make this wine so appealing. Nice acidity or zip that plays with the roundness of the mouthfeel. Hands down, the Savvy Team enjoyed every sip of this big Rosé wine.
Suggested Food Pairing: “Why not just sip on its own?” asked Eva during the Savvy Team tasting. Whether you pour a glass to enjoy on its own or with BBQed pork with mango chutney or a strawberry spinach salad, this wine is definitely different from every other Rosé wine in this assortment.
Harwood “Friends” Rosé VQA 2013
$18.00
Prince Edward County
Savvy Sommelier Tasting Notes: Looks are deceiving…same striking colour as the 2011 wine with aroma & tastes that continue with strawberry, but this time there is a minerality that comes through in this vintage resembling rhubarb making the aromas & taste of the wine reminiscent of strawberry rhubarb pie. Added to that, “I think that there are Swedish Berries”, commented Meaghan and immediately the other Sommeliers in the Savvy Team agreed that she nailed the descriptor on the head.
Suggested Food Pairing: Similar to the 2011, enjoy on its own or slip into your picnic basket.
