While avoiding the raindrops, I let my senses guide me on this #rosado โฆโฆ
Pours into the glass a brilliant copper pink color. Swirl and imagine a #fino & #manzanilla #sherry mixed with a Provenรงe style #rosรฉ and you get this unique styled #rosado - ocean sea spray intermingled with freshly picked peaches, pink grapefruit, strawberries, chamomile and bread dough. This is a dry crisp lip smacking rosรฉ to beat the heat any day. Tangy pomegranate, watermelon and underripe strawberries, peach, orange zest, vanilla cream, almonds and razor like minerality driving the saline home to the finish line. Just a delight.
I paired this with spiced grilled octopus, steamed clams with citrus vinaigrette and turkey brochettes.
