Reviews:
"Our newest wine, Château Morrisette Dry Rosé is made by separating juice from the grapes prior to fermentation, resulting in this lovely rose-colored wine. Made from 100% Chambourcin grapes, our Dry Rosé is crisp and juicy, with the character of citrus and strawberries, gently augmented by subtle suggestions of peach and banana evolving from the lingering, aromatic finish. This wine is food friendly, pairing well with ham, roasted poultry, sweet Italian sausage, and most any savory, non-spicy foods. Try it with chocolate-covered strawberries!"
---Winery Notes
My review:
This wine is a light pink color in a glass. I picked up the subtle aroma of strawberries and peaches on the nose. It had a very clean smell that was lightly fruity. It tasted very light and crisp. It has a very soft flavor that isn't very strong. I tasted a very light fruitiness, but no real distinct flavors. This is a very light wine that would be refreshing on a warm sunny day. I was able to enjoy this wine with lunch at Chateau Morrisette and it was a nice accompaniment to a fresh fruit and cheese plate. Not an overly flavorful wine, but definitely light and refreshing.
