At Bellview Winery, the rosé offers a delicate flavor of red cherries and rose petals, bright and floral with hints of nuttiness on the palate.
Located in Landisville, Bellview Winery offers over two dozen wines, from dry whites to fruity wines. The rosé combines the flavors of cherries and rose petals, while the San Marco boasts a blend of plum, blackberries, and currants.
