Make Valentine's Day Sweeter with The Pour Vineyard's Heartfelt Rose Wine

Heartfelt Rosé release!

Valentine's Day is just around the corner, and what better way to celebrate the holiday of love than with a bottle of our newest release: Heartelt Rose!

This beautiful pink wine is made from Catawba grapes, resulting in a wine that is bursting with flavor and aromas of fresh red berries and citrus. On the palate, Heartelt Rose is light and crisp, with a hint of sweetness that balances out the wine's natural acidity.

We recommend serving Heartelt Rose chilled, either on its own or paired with light appetizers such as cheese and crackers or fruit. It's the perfect wine for sipping with your loved one as you enjoy a romantic evening in.

But why wait until Valentine's Day to enjoy Heartelt Rose? This wine is perfect for any occasion, whether you're hosting a dinner party or simply want to treat yourself to a glass of something special.

So why not make Heartelt Rose a part of your Valentine's Day celebration this year? You'll fall in love with its delicious flavor and pretty pink color. Cheers to love!
