Appearance: Bright raspberry pink color with youthful violet reflections, very clear and attractively luminous in the glass.

Nose: Explosive, sweet, and very seductive. Clean notes of fresh red cherry, raspberry, and wild strawberries immediately stand out, accompanied by a delicate background of fruit jellies and poppy petals.

Palate: Smooth, enveloping entry with a very pleasant silky texture. It displays a great fruity volume perfectly balanced by a lively citric acidity that provides a supremely refreshing sensation. Its finish is clean, dry, and with a very persistent fruity aftertaste.

Precise Gastronomic Pairing: The combination of fruit volume and freshness of this Courage Merlot Rosé makes it a culinary all-rounder. It is ideal for accompanying seafood paellas, beef carpaccios, smoked salmon, Thai salads with sweet and sour touches, sushi with fruit toppings, and Ensenada-style fish tacos. It also pairs wonderfully with light charcuterie boards and young cheeses such as goat cheese or mozzarella. Within traditional Mexican gastronomy, it brilliantly complements an afternoon barbecue (carnita asada), offering a spectacular fruity contrast when paired with pork ribs, chicken skewers with bell peppers, grilled chistorra sausage, and molcajete sauces with a subtle spiciness.

• The Smart Design Gift: The perfect detail for curious oenophiles and passionate independent vanguard brands who appreciate modern and well-achieved formats.

Does the canned packaging alter the rosé color or the aromas of the Merlot?

Not at all. Courage cans feature an advanced internal food-grade protective film that completely isolates the wine from the aluminum. This ensures that its precious raspberry hue and its cherry and strawberry notes remain intact and free from any metallic interference.

What temperature should this Merlot rosé be enjoyed at?

It is recommended to serve it well chilled, between 6°C and 8°C. Thanks to the high thermal conductivity of the can, simply immerse it for 10 to 12 minutes in a cooler with water and ice to reach its optimal consumption temperature.

Is this rosé wine sweet like classic American Zinfandels?

No, this Merlot Rosé is strictly dry. Although its intense aromatic richness evokes ripe red fruits and creates an illusion of sweetness on the nose, on the palate it is perceived as clean, crisp, and refreshing, leaving no cloying sensations or added sugars.

Is it better to drink it straight from the can or in a glass?

The 250ml can is ergonomically designed for direct consumption with total comfort by pools, at barbecues, and outdoors. However, if you are at a formal meal and wish to fully appreciate its brilliant violet coloration and aromatic complexity, we suggest serving it in a white or rosé wine glass.
