A Terrific German Rosé to Beat the Sticky Summer Heat!

88
Villa Wolf 2020 Pinot Noir Rosé Pfalz 11.5% $12
If you're not familiar with the underlying characteristics of German geography, it may be helpful to know that the Pfalz is sometimes called the "Tuscany of Germany", thanks to its southern position and ample sunshine. Clearly, this is a region that needs rosé, and by the taste of this one, we're lucky they don't drink it all themselves! 

This 2020 Villa Wolf Pinot Noir is laden with aromas of watermelon Jolly Rancher and tinned peaches. The spritely palate is pleasantly off-dry on the attack but racing with mouthwatering acidity on the dry finish. Vibrantly focused, über-youthful and very hard to resist, this is brilliant summer drinking for a very reasonable price.
