🍷 Tasting Notes:

This rosé doesn’t scream for attention—it whispers with precision.
The nose opens like dawn: fresh strawberry skin, pink grapefruit, and cold river stone. There’s grace in its tension—a quiet current of minerality, barely-ripe cherry, and clean citrus that kisses the palate then floats away.

It’s not just refreshing—it’s reflective.

Dry, light-bodied, and laced with acidity, Seehof’s Rosé is more than a summer wine. It’s a palate reset—a return to center.

🪶 Reflection (Quill Section)

Sometimes the most profound experiences are whispered, not shouted. This rosé reminds us to slow down. To notice. To sip with intention. It’s for mornings after hard truths, for friends who sit in silence with you, for stories told with softness.

Note to Self:
🍇 This isn’t your basic pink drink. It’s poetry in motion. A rosé that leaves space for you to feel, fully.
