Light, bright orange-pink. Vibrant red currant, raspberry and orange zest aromas show very good clarity and take on a spicy white pepper quality with air. In a lithe, precise style, offering tangy red berry and blood orange flavors and a subtle floral nuance. Finishes taut and dry, with clinging spiciness and a touch of succulent herbs. This a pretty grown-up wine for the category. All stainless steel.

The Guigals have slowly moved their Côtes Du Rhône Rosé to a slightly fresher, more lively style, and the 2019 Côtes Du Rhône Rose reveals a lighter pink color as well as juicy notes of tart strawberries, white peach, and cherry blossoms. Elegant and medium-bodied, it has beautifully balanced acidity and a clean finish, all making for an outstanding rosé geared for summer drinking.

A savory hint leads off, followed by friendly peach and white raspberry notes. Stony hint on the finish. Grenache, Cinsault and Syrah. Drink now. 5,000 cases imported.
