Tasting Notes: With the popularity of BC blush at an all-time high, one can't help but wonder if the genesis for this wine was the question "what are we going to do with all this Zweigelt?" Answer: try it as a rosé, (what do you have to lose?).
Turns out, it makes a pretty darn good rosé, with a nice juxtaposition of off-dry residual sugar, fresh, red berry fruit, light aromatics, bright, cran-apple acidity and a nice kick of minerals and bitter spices on the finish to balance it out. A fine BBQ blush for the dog days of summer. Drink now-2019.
