Tasting Notes and Characteristics:
Crios Rosé of Malbec offers a vibrant, refreshing taste that makes it perfect for warm afternoons or lively gatherings. With a crisp mouthfeel and bright acidity, this Argentine rosé stands out for its easy-drinking appeal. Crafted from 100% Malbec grapes grown in the high-altitude vineyards of Mendoza, it boasts an ABV of 13%. The wine is produced using gentle pressing and cool fermentation to preserve its fresh fruit character and delicate color.
On the palate, Crios Rosé of Malbec reveals notes of ripe strawberry, watermelon, and hints of citrus zest. These flavors are balanced by a subtle minerality and a clean finish that enhances food pairings beautifully. It complements grilled shrimp by highlighting their sweetness while cutting through richness with its acidity. The wine also pairs well with goat cheese, as its fruit-forward profile softens the tanginess and creates a harmonious bite.

Rosé & Blush wines are characterized by their pink hue, which is achieved through limited skin contact with red grape varieties during fermentation. These wines can be further categorized into Rosé Sparkling Wine, made from grapes like Pinot Noir and Grenache, and Blush Sparkling Wine, typically produced from Zinfandel and Merlot. Both styles offer a refreshing alternative to traditional white or red wines, appealing to those who enjoy a balance of fruitiness and acidity.
Rosé Sparkling Wines often feature flavor notes of red berries such as strawberry and raspberry, complemented by citrus zest and floral hints. They can range in sweetness from Brut Nature to Demi-Sec, making them versatile for various occasions. In contrast, Blush Sparkling Wines tend to lean towards off-dry or semi-sweet profiles with flavors of watermelon and peach. Both types pair beautifully with a variety of dishes; Rosé complements seafood and light salads while Blush enhances spicy Asian cuisine or barbecue fare.
