Last Week's Tasting Notes (4.26.19)

Bacalhoa JP Azeitão Rosé (8.99)
Sétubal Peninsula, Portugal
From the producer:
"With a pale pink color, JP Azeitão Rosé presents fruity aromas from the
grape Syrah [85%].

On the palate the aromatic sensations are intense supplemented with good acidity, originating a wine with a full, fresh finish with mineral notes.
An ideal pair for salads, poultry, or to serve as an aperitif."

From me: 
This is your porch wine for the season. Light, bright, and a little juicy, this is thirst-quenching and well-made for a great price.
 
Mont Gravet Colombard ($8.99)
Côtes de Gascogne, France
From the producer:
"Mont Gravet comes from vineyards located in the Gascony region, near the city of Toulouse in the South West of France. The climate combines the Oceanic and Mediterranean influences, which brings enough sun and humidity to grow rich, concentrated and ripe grapes. Close to the producers, and in order to source the best vineyards, our winemaker has found some amazing “terroirs” spread on hills. These hills are called “Mont” in French. So as a tribute to the terroir from where the wine comes from we have named in Mont Gravet, “Gravet” being the name of an oval shaped rock commonly found in the area.​

Mont Gravet has a pale, bright yellow color, with a very intense and refreshing nose. It displays flavors of citrus fruit and blackcurrant leaf. This wine will express itself best as an aperitif or with any seafood. Serve chilled at 50°F."

From me:
This is one of my favorite wines in my shop. It's crisp, dry, light, slightly lemony, and has a refreshing minerality. You will LOVE the value for money of Mont Gravet!
