More questions
'SEX' Pinot Noir Rosé from House of Smith offers an elegant, immediately approachable profile with a clear, pale pink color. On the nose are notes of wild strawberry, rose petals and a light citrus hint, accompanied by a delicate herbaceous nuance that recalls the freshness of Pinot Noir. The palate is slim, sapid and well balanced, with barely perceptible tannins and a finish that returns to the fruity notes leaving a pleasant persistence.
This rosé works as an aperitif and as a companion to light dishes: salads, raw fish preparations, carpaccios and summer vegetable dishes or fresh cheeses. Serve chilled, around 8–12 °C, in a large glass to enhance its aromas. Producer note: House of Smith signs this proposal with a contemporary style, suited to those seeking an immediate yet characterful rosé, best enjoyed young to preserve its liveliness.
