Unshackled Rosé (75cl, 13.5%)

A still rosé from The Prisoner Wine Company in Oakville, California, bottled at 13.5% ABV in a 750ml bottle. It blends Pinot Noir, Syrah, Grenache and Mourvèdre from California's Central Coast and North Coast. The Prisoner Wine Company draws fruit from more than 100 vineyards across California, and the Unshackled line uses fruit from Monterey, Santa Barbara, Napa and Sonoma. The nose shows bright citrus, strawberry, melon and subtle red berries with a faint mineral undertone. The palate is crisp and juicy with grapefruit, tangerine, cantaloupe and watermelon, kept lively by lemon-driven acidity. The finish is medium in length with lingering citrus peel and dried earth.
