Clarendelle Rosé 2018 Review

This is a nice and round rosé that is a bit muted on the palate, but showing aromas of white pepper and a hint of red fruit bordering on strawberries. Maybe there’s a touch of grapefruit, but it’s fleeting. The palate is broad and juicy with no prominent fruit notes, but the texture is refreshing and enjoyable. This would do well as a gift for your host at the shindig.
