2011 First Drop Wines Lush Touriga Rose

I'm always on the look out for roses produced from the non-mainstream varieties and the Lush from the innovative guys at First Drop Wines, fits the bill. The Portuguese variety Touriga National is well suited to the diversity of the McLaren Vale region from which this dry rose is made.

Neon pink colour here. Loads of beautiful red fruits aromas, strawberry, cranberry and raspberry and herbal florals. Zesty strawberry and spicy watermelon palate with some creamy honey nuances at the back end really appealed. The mouthfeel from this lovely textured, beautifully-balanced rose, finishes dry. An exciting, delicious and refreshing wine.
