Troy Amos-Ross is a Canadian retired boxer and proud member of the Canadian Boxing Hall of Fame. He represented Canada in two Olympic Games and achieved international success in the ring, celebrated for his skill, determination, and sportsmanship. After hanging up his gloves, Troy brought that same champion’s focus and passion to wine, working with Pillitteri Estates Winery to craft a rosé that reflect his unwavering commitment to excellence.

The 2022 Gloves Off is a great example of premium cool climate rosé. It pours a beautiful salmon pink colour and displays vibrant aromas of white peach, sweet watermelon, white pepper, and strawberry jam. The palate is well balanced as there is just enough sweetness to balance the acidity without feeling like a sweet wine. Flavours similar to the nose reveal themselves with more of an impression of honey and blood orange leading to a clean finish. This very refreshing and easy drinking wine is the perfect choice for on the patio or by the pool on a hot day, but also complex enough to pair well with food.
