Lageder Lagrein Rose 2011

Here’s a rosé to wipe the memory of all skeptics. At once floral and freshly fruity but herbal, curlicue and scented, this Lagrein is a dream of a rosé for all these tensions and all the better yet for a gentle bitter note that lends a welcomed edge to the finish. This is outstanding with rabbit terrine but in the glass I’m now hatching plans to try this with smoked fish for stream side luncheons and pâtés for the late afternoon snack. Some wines evoke the foods to accompany them and make one water at the mouth.
Wine review by Nicholas Livingston, May 2012

Description: pink colour with ruby hints. Quite pronounced, fruity aroma (red berries) with floral impressions (violets). Medium-bodied smooth fruit on the palate, fresh. Long lasting aftertaste with an elegant bitter twist.
