NEW RELEASE
Rickety Bridge Foundation Stone Rose Blend 2017
I am excited to tell you about our lovely new Foundation Stone Rose blend. As we harvest in our part of the world in the first 3 months of the year, we are able to launch a vintage 2017 wine here in the U.S as early as June.
Our new Rose is Grenache driven, supported by Shiraz, Mourvedre and a small percentage of Viognier. Winemaker Wynand Grobler has remained true to our Southern French roots and created a delightfully well balanced and flavorsome wine, with notes of strawberries, red cherries and a touch of spice. The wine pairs perfectly with shrimp, smoked salmon, sushi or is delicious on its own. See our stockist links above to discover your own bottle.
