Moorilla, Muse, Extra Brut Rosé, Tasmania, 2018

Pale trout to rust colour.  Vibrant beading. Malt biscuit, blood orange citrus, strawberry milk, rhubarb crumble, watermelon lolly, ginger and hibiscus flower. Lively and bright palate, with gentle pulsing acidity  cutting a soft, round mid palate. Prevailing blood orange citrus, cherry and orange crème flavour and a chalky grip. Fine and long.
