Domaine Treloar "Rose of Treloar" 2009
100% Syrah; 11,7% abv; 6 g/l RS
A very dark colour, looks like a red wine actually. This is a lovely off-dry rosé: it smells actually rather like the Gamay rosés I have enjoyed with its purity and strawberry aromas. Actually, despite its lower sugar, this smells and tastes very like Brun's FRV100 but without bubbles. It is very slightly sweet, but is pure and refreshing (though come to think of it, this refreshing character should be a surprise because neither the acidity nor the tannins seem to be all that high; but somehow it is grippy and palate-cleansing). It is fun, refreshing and moreish and has quite a bit more character than most rosés I get to drink. So no need to be afraid of the slight sugar! Not all off-dry rosés are crap. This one was lovely. (Some have felt this was over-extracted smelled of cough syrup - my experience was quite opposite of such views!)
