2022 Maverick Rosé

For the 2022 vintage, Maverick has taken a “crowd pleaser” approach with his bone dry, 100% Syrah, all stainless-steel, rosé. On the nose the aromas of jolly rancher, strawberry cantaloupe and honey melon are appealing, friendly and approachable. On the palate, the acidity is bright and perfectly counters the sweet berry jam of the first wave. The mid-palate is where the magic happens with strawberry-rhubarb pie flavours, a hint of fresh herbs and nice salty minerality on the finish. While the complexity is not the calling card of this wine, the length and approachability stand out and will make lots of people happy.
