Fabre Montmayou Rose

About the Wine:

 

Bordeaux native Hervé Fabre had to request special permission from Mendoza bureaucrats to bypass the region’s customary July 1 hold on annual exports making this pink colored beauty literally the very first Argentine wine of the vintage to make it to the United States. We know rose is at its best when consumed young - this is without question as fresh as wine gets! Crafted with European styling this is a crisp and well-balanced rose perfect for grilled summer fare.
