A Message from Grape Crush:

Grape Crush has teamed up with our friends at Traynor Winery to bring you our first Rosé! Made entirely from hand-harvested Gamay Noir, and pressed after 24 hours of skin contact, it is delightfully tasty oh so cool. On the nose it's all candied strawberry, plum, watermelon and rhubarb. Soft on the palate, with a touch of fennel, vibrant acid and a long fruity bone-dry finish. Good to drink when everything's cool or even when everything is terrible.

Label by Cheap Reaper

Winemaker's Note:

This Rose wine is hand-harvested overnight and transported to the winery the following morning. The fruit macerated for thirty-six hours before being whole-cluster pressed. The wine was settled quickly and then racked off the heavy lees to ensure a fruitier, brighter style of rose. The wine was then fermented and aged in stainless steel until it clarified naturally. We are excited to share with you this rose made from Gamay Noir and produced in a vegan way.

Food Pairing Suggestions:

• Lightly spiced dishes (e.g. Indian, Thai)
• Salad with citrus dressing
• Sushi or Sashimi
• Grilled vegetables
• Grilled seafood

This Rose wine is a perfect pairing for a variety of dishes due to its fruity and fresh flavours. The candied strawberry, watermelon, and rhubarb aromas complement the flavours of lightly spiced dishes such as Indian or Thai cuisine. The wine's refreshing acidity makes it a great match for salads with citrus dressing, sushi or sashimi, grilled vegetables, and grilled seafood. The wine's slightly sweet finish makes it a great pairing for spicy foods and it's also a great aperitif or pairing for light appetizers. The wine's light body and refreshing acidity also make it a great pairing for seafood, particularly grilled seafood and sushi.
