Mitres Edge Rose 2014

Shiraz Rosé with hints of citrus and strawberry on nose with an accessible dry finish on the palate.

The perfect summertime aperitif with lots of ice. Easy drinking summer salad wine, a fresh Caprese salad comes to mind.Also strawberries with a hint of ground black pepper would be a perfect match.
