Domaine des Mapliers Ombra Calheta (Rosé)
More from this producer: Domaine des Mapliers
2025
Very pale shell. Restrained on the nose with a little pink grapefruit. Charmingly citrusy and fruity on the palate with pretty red cherries and lots of zippy grapefruit. Vibrant acidity leads to a tiny hint of phenolics on the finish. Approachable, fun and very easy-drinking - what's not to love?
