Rothschild Rimapere

Rothschild Rimapere is a 750ml wine bottled under the Esplanda label from Massachusetts, in the United States. The listing doesn't name the grape, color, vintage or alcohol level, so check the bottle's label for those before you plan a meal around it. Everything below describes what wines from this region usually do, not a measured profile of this bottle. Massachusetts sits in a cool, maritime-influenced climate with short growing seasons. Wines from the region tend to show bright acidity, moderate alcohol and lighter to medium body. If this is a white or rosé, expect crisp orchard-fruit or citrus character and a clean, fairly quick finish. If it's a red, expect red-berry fruit, restrained tannin and little or no heavy oak. Cooler-climate bottlings like this are usually made to be drunk within a few years of release, so unless the label says otherwise, treat it as a drink-now wine and don't cellar it. For serving, chill white or rosé to roughly 7–10°C. A red in this style is best lightly cooled, around 13–16°C, which means about 20 minutes in the refrigerator before pouring. Decanting isn't needed for wines of this weight. A general-purpose white wine glass, or a medium-bowled glass for a red, will do. Bright, higher-acid wines usually go well with New England seafood such as steamed clams, baked haddock or oysters. They also suit roast chicken, soft cheeses and salads with a vinaigrette. A lighter red would also work with grilled pork, mushroom dishes or a simple charcuterie board.
