Cartoonist, Tom Wilson, is credited with coining the phrase, “A smile is happiness you’ll find right under your nose.” It’s quite simple yet so true, and can be an immediate indicator of happiness in a person.
Well, I have to say, as soon as I put this rosé under my nose, a smile appeared under the rim of the glass. When I removed the glass, it remained across my face and it lingered there for a good while too. You could say I am easily pleased but that would overlook the genuine quality and joy of the wine in the glass.

Lovely aromatics rise from the glass after a good swirl, think strawberries, a little spice and slightly floral characters. The palate is fresh, bright and flavourful. Red cherries, strawberries, a little red currant juiciness and a herbal note lead the way, joined by citrusy notes, gentle acidity, and a pleasing texture that lingers just long enough to remind you this is a neat, impressive rosé package. A smile in a glass, right under your nose.
