2025 Cindy's Secret Stash

Appearance

• Color: Light coral-pink with glints of salmon — a classic Grenache rosé hue that hints at juicy red fruit.

• Clarity: Brilliant and crystalline, signaling freshness.

Aromas (Nose)

• Primary Fruit: Red berry scents dominate — think fresh strawberry, raspberry, and perhaps a hint of watermelon rind.

• Citrus & Orchard Notes: A whisper of pink grapefruit zest and green apple adds lift.

• Floral & Spice Accents: Delicate rose petal aromas mingle with a subtle white/black pepper note typical of Grenache.

• Mineral Lift: A faint whisper of wet stone/mineral keeps the nose vibrant and lively.

Palate (Taste)

• Fruit Expression: Juicy red fruits take center stage — strawberry, raspberry, maybe a touch of crisp red currant.

• Acidity & Balance: Bright, refreshing acidity keeps the wine crisp and energetic, with the ~1% residual sugar adding just a hint of roundness without sweetness.

• Texture: Light to medium body with a clean, refreshing mouthfeel.

• Spice & Complexity: A subtle spice note (white pepper/ginger) enhances the mid-palate, while a touch of citrus pith brings brightness.

Finish

• Length: Clean, dry finish with lingering red fruit and a refreshing citrus twist.

• Aftertaste: Slight saline/mineral suggestion keeps it refreshing and food-friendly.

Food Pairing Suggestions

Pairs beautifully with:

• Seafood: Grilled prawns, ceviche, or Ahi poke.

• Salads: Beet & goat cheese salad with citrus vinaigrette.

• Mediterranean: Mezze with hummus, olives, and fresh herbs.

• Light Pasta: Lemon-cream linguine or pasta primavera.
