Monte Xanic Calixa Grenache Rose 750ml

Description

Polished clean wine with an eye catching cherry red shade. The aromas are intense and expressive. Its marked fresh fruit aromas are reminiscent of ripe strawberries, juicy raspberries, red Bing cherries, redcurrant, pomegranate and sweet tangerine. In palate is pleasantly dry with fresh acidity and a test of luscious summer fruits such as pomegranate, strawberries and Ruby red grapefruit. Harmonized and well balanced with a pleasing full body and a focused fresh fruit experience which ingers refreshingly.

Producer Description

Dr. Hans Backhoff and four of his friends founded Monte Xanic in 1987. Recognized as Mexico's first boutique winery, it is a state-of-the-art, award-winning estate. The idea for the name and logo came after a spring rain: the entire valley was covered with beautiful desert flowers, which led to the name Monte Xanic, which in Mexican and Indian means "the first flower that blooms on the mountain after the rain". The total production is 50,000 cases per year, all from estate fruit. The grapes are harvested by hand, at night.
