Tawse 2013 Sketches Rose Niagara, Canada

Sketches Rosé marks the arrival of spring at Tawse! The 2013 vintage is an approachable blend of Cabernet Franc, Pinot Noir and Merlot. To impart structure and colour, it was made using the “saignée” method though which we combine the free-run juice of red grapes before they are pressed. Ripe and juicy, this wine delivers a lovely nose of fresh strawberry, raspberry and red currant. On the palate, vibrant notes of cranberry and mint are deftly balanced with just the right amount of acidity, sweetness and a clean crisp finish.
 While perfectly enjoyable on its own, it is also extremely food-friendly. It’s refreshing acidity should cut through the richness of the fries but the subtle sweetness should be able to handle the heat from the jalepeno, while not overwhelming the subtle flavours of the pickerel.

The Lini family's traditional Lambrusco Rosso, low in alcohol, with bright acidity and loads of fruit, is a perfect pairing for the classic dishes of Emilia like the region's famous cured meats. This is real
Lambrusco.

Labrusca Lambrusco Rosso Reggiano DOC : From 85% Lambrusco Salamino + 15% Lambrusco Ancellotta,from secondary fermentation in autoclave for 3 months, at a controlled temperature. The Lini method yields especially small, elegant perlage, which enhances digestibility.

Intense ruby red color with purple reflections ; extremely fragrant bouquet, showing lush aromas of red fruit, especially blueberry & raspberry, confirmed on the well balanced, structured palate with
distinctive flavor intensity & balance and a slightly tannic.

Eating fatty, salty cured meats with fruity, lightly fizzy red wine is an age-old way of life in northern Italy's Emilia-Romagna region. The acidity of the Lambrusco cuts through the fat and the salt of many cured meats and rich dishes. The wine's effervescence and hint of sweetness, along with its acidity, helps cut through the intensity of the meats and refreshes the palate.
