Notes on the Wine
Cline Mourvèdre Rosé is made as a Blanc de Noir or "white of a red grape," in the style of a white wine. The skins were gently crushed and pressed, extracting a small amount of color and tannin. The juice was then fermented slowly at cold temperatures to preserve the bright fruit flavors.
The wine is a pale salmon color. Aromas of watermelon, strawberries and cream, rosewater, potpourri and candied watermelon. Flavors of watermelon, strawberries, tangy orange and lemon. Light bodied, balanced and refreshing.
