The DUNE Maspalomas is a blend of Grenache Noir and Grenache Blanc. Yes that’s correct folks, red and white grapes together.
These are hand-picked and co-fermented on skins. It’s like making a red wine but using red and white grapes. It is rosé? No, it's not a rosé, as rosé would typically be fermented as juice only rather than on the skins. So it’s more akin to a very light red wine, a beautiful floral rose nose, mid weight with lovely chalky tannins.
Drink it chilled, not super cold but in the fridge for an hour before serving is best.
"A modern wine with traditional roots. Raspberry, strawberry, ginger-laced rhubarb with a spicy ginseng tang. It’s light and fresh, juicy and spicy, there’s a dusty and earthy texture, a bit of blood orange and pear, with a bright finish of good length. Very interesting. I really like it. A wine for picnics and good times. 92 points"
