Shop Review:
There is a fresh, crisp character to this light rosé. It is eye-watering in its refreshing character, with balancing acidity, smoothing out the edges with a touch of caramel.

My Review:
I didn't find this blush to be anything special. Very normal white wine smells. Fresh and crisp, with floral aromas. The taste was unexpectedly dry (not sweet), and very light on the palate. This wasn't a bad wine, it just didn't stick out to me.
