Winery Review: Our newest wine, Chateau Morrisette Dry Rose, is made by separating juice from the grapes prior to fermentation, resulting in this lovely rose-colored wine. Made from 100% Chambourcin grapes, our Dry Rose is crisp and juicy, with the character of citrus and strawberries, gently augmented by subtle suggestion of peach and banana evolving from the lingering, aromatic finish. This wine is food friendly, pairing well with ham, roasted poultry, sweet Italian sausage, and most any savory, non-spicy foods. Try it with chocolate-covered strawberries!
My Review: The smell of the wine really opened up as I swirled the wine. It was a very nice color, very light. I found this wine to be dryer than any roses that I have tasted before, which was shocking because I was expecting a sweeter wine. It had a very fruity taste and I think that it would be paired well when eating fruit. It was recommended that this wine would pair well with ham, I can see this being true and would like to try it at some point in time.
