Bodegas Protos, Aire de Protos, Cigales, Spain 2024

A pale, fruit-forward rosé, with a luscious core of ripe white orchard fruit covered in cranberry juice and liberally topped with lime zest. The latter, along with a touch of pink grapefruit on the back palate contributes liveliness and freshness, offsetting the weighty pear and melon on the mid-palate. Touches of fresh grass and fennel add a herbal nuance.
