Ladybug has long been a benchmark rosé from Niagara. This is a pretty, pastel, pear-pink colour in the glass. The nose is gentle, complex and slightly perfumed, with strawberry-currant, lavender and grapefruit aromas. It is mid-weight, fresh, elegant and pristine. A hint of sweetness is not at all out of balance. Focused and very pleasant.
