1998 Chain of Ponds Novello Rosso Grenache Sangiovese

It seems to us that the rush is on to produce the definitive Australian Rose. Chain of Ponds have a Mediterranean blend of Grenache and Sangiovese, thus hoping to capture simultaneously the Spanish and Italian Rose market. A new art label and some second rate graphics all converge to produce a good quaffing Rose.Deep damask pink mauve colour. Uplifted nose of fresh raspberries and ripe strawberries aromas are followed by an inky background note. Light weight palate with delicate raspberry flavours and soft acidity followed by stewed fruit, raspberry aftertaste. Drink this summer.
