Honsberger 2016 Rosé

Rosé is becoming serious business everywhere and Niagara is no different, and no one takes Rosé more seriously than Kelly Mason at Honsberger, who for the 3rd year in a row has produced one of my favourites. This 100% Cabernet Franc is complex as well as being subtle. The nose is peach, apple and cran-raspberry while the palate is crazy dry with strawberry-pith, honeydew rind and Bosc pear skin, all with a citrus zest/pith finish - it's at home on its own but goes great with those summer foods we all crave in the afternoons ... and the colour, pale pink, can best be described as Rose Gold, because that's what it is - yeah, it's just that good. 

Price: $21.95 - Rating: ****+
