AIX Rose

Today. October 30th, is National Text Your Ex Day! The quote that embodies this day is “fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me.” Though you know this probably isn’t a good idea, you say to yourself, “What’s the harm in one more try?” Well…never mind – I’m your wine guy, not your therapist. However, what I’m sure you’lll need in order to ease the anxiety of seeing a three-dotted text bubble is the AIX 2019 Rose. This wine has notes of strawberry and watermelon on the palate and pairs well with grilled fish and salad.

Tasting Notes

A fragrant and well-balanced wine, AIX's hypnotizing salmon pink color reveals a fruity freshness. The nose is delightfully fragrant with delicate balance and crisp acidity. Enjoy the notes of soft, ripe summer fruits particularly watermelon and strawberries.
