One of the secrets of drinking wine is you don't have to pay a fortune to find something delicious. In fact, many of the most pleasing wines cost less than $20 per bottle. Universal Discount Package Store, Norwich, CT's premier wine shop, knows your funds are limited. To help you choose a delicious and affordable wine, they recommend a full, sweet rosé from Martha Clara Vineyards on Long Island. A favorite with their patrons, they make sure to keep it in stock, along with a vast selection of micro-brews and other types of wine and spirits.

Specifications

The grapes for the Martha Clara rosé are picked, relieved of their stems, and pressed off their skins by machines. Winemakers then allow the juice to settle before adding yeast and fermenting the mix at 68 degrees. After fermentation, it is immediately blended and allowed to age for four months. It contains 12% alcohol and has a full, sweet flavor due to the residual sugar content.

A Great Wine for Summer

The Martha Clara rosé is a delicious blend of Riesling, Chardonnay, and Merlot. It offers a hint of watermelon, so it pairs well with lighter dishes, such as seafood, salad, light pasta, white cheeses, and mushrooms. It is an ideal wine for summer, and it is indispensable when you're dining on the beach, picnicking poolside, or relaxing on the boat. If you're planning to spend time outdoors this summer, a few bottles of the Martha Clara rosé from your local wine shop will help you enjoy the season to its fullest.

Because it tends to fly off the shelves, Universal Discount Package Store, the largest and most comprehensive liquor, beer, and wine shop in Norwich, CT, keeps plenty of the Martha Clara rosé in stock.
