Coral orange color. Herbal, fruity aromas and flavors of strawberry lavender shrub, cranberry-lemon chutney, and citronella with a supple, vibrant, effervescent, fruity sweet medium body and a smooth, intriguing, medium-long finish with accents of tangerine and cherry sorbets and pickled watermelon rinds. A wonderfully spicy and herbaceous pink bubbly Dessert Wine that will be a fine way to finish a meal or start a cocktail.

About

Other Cocktail

A Wine Cocktail is a ready-made mixed drink that is composed primarily of wine with the addition of alcohol or other mixers. In order to be classified as a Wine Cocktail as opposed to a cocktail with wine, the primary source of ABV in the beverage must come from the wine. As long as this is true, any number of combinations are possible, and you'll be surprised at what exciting options you can find!
