Cool down these hot summer days with a refreshing chilled wine. Gifts Gone Gourmet offers several wonderful Rosé wines from which to choose.
From Pipestone Vineyards we have a French style Rosé. It is made with 100% Grenache grapes, has a deep red color and is full flavored. This 2005 vintage is bone dry, so serve it well chilled. It has a balanced crispness and fruitiness, a touch of spiciness, and aromas of ripe strawberries, peaches, and raspberries. Serve it chilled with a BBQ or anything spicy.
We offer the Thunderbolt Junction 2005 dry Rosé which has a strawberry flavor and a hint of honeydew melon. It is a blend of 68% Grenache, 24% Mourvedre, and 8% Syrah. They suggest this wine is best accompanied by spicy cuisine, perfect for Peking Duck, Jerk Chicken, Buffalo Wings with Blue Cheese Dressing and Thai spicy Coconut Shrimp.
Our Costa de Oro 2005 Rosé is made with 100% Pinot Noir grapes. It is made from juice taken out of the fermenter after one day and put into neutral French oak barrels for fermentation. Malolactic acid was blocked keeping this wine fresh and lively. Strawberry/citrus fruit with Asian spices on the nose. Smooth texture and a lingering finish make this Rosé an appealing wine for both novice and serious wine consumers.
