2020 Gaia Pinot Noir Rosé ($20)

From Domaine Bousquet, Gaia Rosé is from the vineyards of Tupungato, high in Argentina’s Mendoza Uco Valley . This wine takes its name from Gaia, the ancient Greek goddess of the earth and an inspiration for the Bousquet family, dating back to the late 1990s when as visionaries and intrepid pioneers they left their native France to buy and plant in virgin land in the remote Andean foothills of Argentina. Domaine Bousquet is now Argentina’s foremost name in organically grown wines, farmed organically from the start. And, this Gaia Rosé is made entirely from organically grown grapes.

Gaia Rosé is produced from 100% Pinot Noir that are grown in sandy, gravelly soil at a cool 4,000 feet above sea level by the foothills of the Andes. Intense sunlight and high day-night temperature variations contribute to these Pinot Noir grapes.

This Gaia Rosé is a bright salmon color with fresh fruit aromas of strawberries and orange zest. On the palate it has delicate flavors, creaminess and refreshing acidity on the finish. This rosé is perfect as a refreshing sip on a warm afternoon, with appetizers or any lighter fare.
