KESWICK VINEYARDS 2019 Rose Estate Reserve 100% estate grown Touriga, this rose has a pale, slightly salmon hue. The nose is dry and bright, showcasing initial aromas of citrus, stone fruit and wet stone, but turning to more red fruit with warmth and aeration. The palate has a beautiful entry with the acidity keeping the fruit forward flavors in check. The finish is medium and bright. Additional flavors of baking spice, red apply skin and tart red fruits start coming out with time in the glass. We recommend serving the wine quite chilled and allowing it to warm up naturally in your glass to experience the complexity of the wine. Food pairings include pork dishes, roasted chicken and plank baked salmon. Winter Hours We look forward to continuing to serve all of our wonderful guests this winter during our daily hours of 10am-5pm. There are three options for visiting the vineyard. On Saturdays: reserved table seating (for groups of 6 or less people) under our beautiful, clear-top heated tent in 2-hour blocks (Fee $20). Everyday: first come, first served seating at our outdoor courtyard tables or open seating for those who wish to bring their own blankets and chairs to spread out in our designated lawn area. Please remember face masks are required for all guests ages 5+ when not seated. Wine is available by the flight, glass and bottle, and only our outdoor areas can be accessed at this time. A selection of pre-packaged meats, cheeses, crackers, and spreads are available for purchase. 1575 Keswick Winery Drive Keswick, VA 22947 keswickvineyards.com • (434) 244-3341
