James Suckling 93pt

A rose with peaches and melons on the nose and palate. It has a creamy texture and a long, crunchy finish with just a hint of grapefruit and other citrusy bitterness. Crisp and very inviting. A blend of 60% malbec and 40% pinot noir. Drink now.

Vinous Media 93pt

The 2023 Rose Signature is a blend of 60% Malbec and 40% Pinot Noir from the Uco Valley. The nose displays roses, delicate cherries and herbal aromas. A tropical hint reflects the warm vintage. Dry and refreshing, this Rose has a smooth palate and a pleasant mouthfeel, culminating in an enticing floral finish. This is a serious Rose with a Provencal touch.

Tasting notes

A lovely pale salmon pink color and a fine florality, with hints of wild strawberry and cherry. It shows freshness and clarity, with crunchy acidity, redcurrant and strawberry flavors and a pithy, refreshing finish. This will be very good both as an aperitif and with food, due to the tension on the palate. This wine pairs beautifully with smoked salmon, Asian spicy food, grilled poultry & hard cheeses.
