Wine Review: This pale copper colored wine from Provence opens with a pleasant light strawberry and wet stone bouquet with hints of rose petals and tangerine. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied with well-managed medium acidity. The flavor profile is a flinty mineral influenced mild strawberry with notes of saline and kumquat. I also detected a hint of maraschino cherry at the very end. The finish is dry and its flavors and a little heat drift away nicely. I would pair this Rose with PEI steamed mussels with garlic and white wine. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: Lively and balanced, the Classic rosé from Domaine de Cala is pleasant to drink from its earliest youth. Its citrus notes appeal to the youngest palates as well as lovers of light wines. Ideal for an aperitif or a summer meal!
