Wine Description

Lady Bug Rose is a dry, medium to full bodied wine with a bright salmon pink colour. The nose is highly aromatic, bursting with notes of fresh strawberry, cherry, and watermelon, along with hints of pink grapefruit and rhubarb. On the palate, the wine is round and juicy, featuring flavours of ripe red berries, pomegranate, and crisp green apple leading to a long, fresh, and herbal finish. It is traditionally crafted from a blend of Cabernet Franc, Gamay, and Pinot Noir, with the exact proportions varying slightly by vintage to maintain its signature crisp and fruity style. This rose is intended for early consumption to capture its vibrant freshness.
