Curly Flat White Pinot

Yes, white pinot. Or pale blush, to be correct. Three hours of skin contact has made for a pretty and understated rosé, but with such diversity of styles in this category, it’s nice to see an evocative name, even if not quite correct. It’s beautifully crafted, too, upheld by wonderfully vibrant, cool region acidity which carries the finish long and even, unmarred by malolactic fermentation. Three months on lees knits everything together neatly, retaining integrity of character reminiscent of rose petals, strawberries, red cherries, pomegranates and watermelons. Best price direct.
