If you have never experienced wine grapes between your toes, it is truly a one of a kind experience. Fresh strawberry fields breeze past the nose as rhubarb and kiwi flavors frolic across the palate. Crisp, dry, and refreshing, this rosé beckons you to kick your feet up and enjoy a relaxing afternoon. View Winemaker Notes $14 Qty:
