TASTING NOTES:
“Inspired by the renowned rosé wines of Provence, France, our 2020 DAOU Discovery Collection Rosé remains faithful to its origins. This wine is remarkably fragrant, offering generous aromas of fresh peach, Bartlett pear and nectarine, with subtle notes of hyacinth, apricot and crushed rose petals. The palate is delightfully silky, underlying a clean, fresh crispness delivering enticing flavors of mango, Crenshaw melon, lemon chiffon and tangerine. Secondary layers reveal hints of sweet cherry and vanilla with orange peel accents. A luxurious and lasting finish leaves traces of apple pie, strawberry and kiwi.“ (AbV 13.7%)

TANGENTIALLY RELATED FACT to help you make conversation over this wine:
Dark Age of Camelot was released in 2001 by Mythic Entertainment as a 3D massively multiplayer online role-playing game. Set after King Arthur’s death, the kingdom of Camelot has broken into three realms: Albion, Hibernia, and Midgard. Albion is a pretty standard Arthurian type of location with wizards and knights and damsels and etcetera. Hibernia is more based in Celtic folklore, having elves and fairies and giants. Midgard is, predictably by the name, based on Norse folklore. A large focus of the game was on large scale player versus player content, playing into the whole three factions in constant conflict part of the backstory.
