Francis Coppola Sofia Rosé (75cl, 13.6%)

Francis Coppola Sofia Rosé is a still, dry rosé from Monterey County, California, in a 75cl bottle. It belongs to the Sofia line that Francis Ford Coppola named after his daughter, Sofia Coppola. The blend is led by Syrah, with Grenache and Pinot Noir behind it. The grapes are picked early, given brief skin contact for a salmon-pink colour, and fermented cool in stainless steel. The nose offers raspberry, tangerine and peach with coriander, rose petal and mineral hints. The palate is fresh and elegant with lively acidity, and the finish is clean, fruity and lightly floral. Serve well chilled.
