Gewürztraminer & Pinot Gris, Alsace, France

First things first, this ‘Rose’ is actually one of the world’s most beloved orange wines and not a rosé at all. The ‘Rose’ stands for roses, one of the many aromas leaping out of the glass thanks to regional grapes Gewürztraminer and Pinot Gris spending 8 months on their skins developing this gorgeous colour and all! the! smells! tastes! textures! If you research this wine, the most compelling thing one quickly discovers is that everyone loves it. One of the SAQ employee’s top picks! Among Vivino's top 3% rated wines in the world! We understand why. Aromatic grapes are grown organically on steep slopes surrounded by nature and untouched by chemicals for 35 years are hand-picked and carefully fermented creating complex, dense and unexpected flavours. Valencia orange, grilled pineapple, and smooshed mango fruit freshness is balanced by spring blossoms and lip-smacking cat-tongue tannins. Inspired by the great fleshy orange wines of Slovenia, Georgia and Croatia. Pair with a spicy late-summer feast and The Talented Mr. Ripley.
