Kpo says: WWWOOO! Super aroma like basil & lychee!!!!

A rare and super aromatic rosé wine, the name of the grape Busuioaca means basil, and the wine has a superb aroma of basil, lychee, tomato leaves. Pinkish rosé in colour, it is completely dry, crisp with good acidity and a lingering basil finish. A truly unique local grape. This grape that is very special even in Romania as it is not available in most wineries!

Perfect for afternoons, by the beach/pool. Chill down to enjoy!
