Daou Rosé 2023 (75cl, 13.7%)

Daou Rosé 2023 is a Provençal-style rosé from California, made by the Daou brothers in Paso Robles from 100% Grenache Noir. It is 13.7% ABV and comes in a 75cl bottle. The grapes grow on mostly loamy, fine soils in the San Juan Creek and El Pomar District areas, where differing microclimates add diversity to the flavour. The 2023 vintage kept its freshness and natural acidity. The nose offers peach, apricot, mango and lemony vanilla, with hints of hibiscus and honeysuckle. On the palate it is light and airy yet juicy and crisp, with nectarine, papaya and Crenshaw melon, then apple and citrus zest. The finish is clean and silky.
