Œil de Perdrix ("partridge eye") is the traditional pale Swiss rosé of Pinot Noir, named for its delicate salmon-pink colour. This one is from the Fernand Cina winery in Salgesch, a family estate founded in 1956 that makes some forty wines from its Valais vineyards. Briefly macerated and fermented cool, it offers wild strawberry, redcurrant and raspberry with a hint of peach, light body and a fresh, dry finish. Best young and chilled (8–10°C), as an aperitif or with charcuterie, fish and summer dishes.
