Alive Rosé 2017, British Columbia

Comments

It’s organic. It’s vegan. It’s a dry pinot-noir-based rosé that does a fine impression of strawberry jam with preserved lemon. And there’s an earthy note in the middle of it all. Gently sticky, with zippy acidity on the way out. Good on its own or as a match for spicy seafood or pork dishes, including a lot of aromatic Asian fare. Available direct, summerhill.bc.ca, and at select private B.C. liquor stores.

  • Year: 2017
  • Region: Okanagan Valley
  • Varietal: Pinot noir
  • Food pairing: Spicy seafood or pork dishes, aromatic Asian fare 
  • Price: $20.70
