Stoneleigh Latitude Rose 750ml
Latitude wines are crafted from grapes sourced from the ‘Golden Mile’; a strip of land covered with ancient sunstones and highly regarded for its outstanding grape-growing conditions. The resulting wines are aromatically lifted and riper in the spectrum, a result of the higher concentration of the stones in the area and the remarkable impact this has on the vines.
TASTING NOTES
Aroma: This wine is seduced from the glass with its brilliant rose pink colour. The nose opens with ripe red berries; strawberry, redcurrant and cranberry; fruit flavours that carry through to the richly concentrated palate.
Palate: This is a broad, fresh, textural wine with a medium body, and the concentrated fruit notes are enhanced with hints of savoury oak, on a persistent finish.
There are plenty excellent of food matches for this gorgeously full-flavoured wine. Try big flavours such as olive, saffron or chorizo – salad nicoise or paella would be fun, as well as chargrilled lamb with herbs and other Mediterranean foods.
Food Match: A relaxed meal of rustic paté and sourdough bread is another winning match, or a classic wood-fired pizza, with salty anchovy, milky mozzarella and a few fresh basil leaves.
