The
Gaston label has been that rock solid Rosé that many Texas wine fans look
forward to every year. The 2019 release is a blend of Grenache, Mourvèdre, and Cinsault. Strawberry and mango notes predominate in
this vintage along with a splash of watermelon. The wine has a pleasant acidic
finish giving it just the right amount of crispness without detracting from the
lovely fruit flavors. Sadly, there will be no 2020 vintage to share. Thus, we
look forward in hopeful anticipation that 2021 will bring better luck and allow
this lovely Rosé to once again be bottled and shared with its wine fans
everywhere. In the meantime, enjoy your 2019 stash of Gaston as long as you
can. Santé!
Wine Of The Moment is just that. A moment of trying out a new bottle of wine and sharing our thoughts and impressions. There is no planned wine bottle that is to be opened or set time that it will be tasted. It is what ever just happens to be opened...for the moment. On occasion, we may also post our feedback on new wineries that we have visited as well as unique cheeses. So, pull up your own plate of cheese, crackers, and fruit and enjoy these discussions.
