Wölffer - Summer in a Bottle Rosé 2024 offers a quintessential Hamptons-inspired rosé experience, crafted to be fresh, vibrant, and aromatic, embodying the essence of summer. Typically a blend of various red varietals (often including Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Chardonnay, and Pinot Noir), it presents a pale, alluring salmon-pink hue. On the nose, it offers an inviting bouquet of fresh red berries, primarily wild strawberry and raspberry, beautifully complemented by notes of white peach, apricot, and delicate floral hints of rose petals. A crisp citrus zest, particularly pink grapefruit, and a subtle minerality add to its aromatic charm. The palate is dry, crisp, and beautifully balanced, with a refreshing acidity that carries bright flavors of redcurrant, pink grapefruit, and a touch of ripe melon. It is light to medium-bodied, offering a smooth texture and a clean, invigorating finish that leaves a persistent impression of delicate fruit and refreshing minerality.

This vibrant and elegant Provence-style rosé is a wonderfully versatile food-pairing wine, ideal for a wide array of lighter dishes and warm weather cuisine. It shines alongside classic Mediterranean fare, such as grilled fish, shrimp, or calamari with herbs and lemon. It's an excellent companion to fresh salads, especially those with goat cheese, berries, or grilled chicken. Appetizers like charcuterie boards with delicate cured meats, olives, and fresh bread, or vibrant bruschetta, would also be a perfect match. Its crispness and fruit notes also make it a delightful pairing for sushi and sashimi, light pasta dishes with primavera sauces, or even a simple quiche. For cheese, fresh goat cheese, feta, or a mild brie would complement its delicate profile beautifully.
