"The inviting bouquet is elegant and delicately expressed with raspberry, peach, apple and floral aromas, followed by a finely textured palate that is light and refreshing with a fabulous crisp finish" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Oct 2019

Clear, bright, rose petal colour in the glass. Lovely floral with fresh red berry notes. Clean on entry, nice balance of acidity, full, enhanced by notes of white-fleshed fruit.

The Grenache is grown on clay with limestone soils mainly facing East, while the Cinsault is planted on the plain in predominantly sandy soils. The grapes are picked at maturity in order to combine freshness and fruitiness.

100% pressed Rosé. The musts undergo very little racking in order to develop the wine's volume yet maintain its freshness - balance is the golden rule. Alcoholic fermentation takes place at low temperature for 15 days. Then aged on its fine lees in stainless steel or concrete vats for 3-4 months.

Food Pairing: Ideal as an aperitif and all summer salads & grilled seafood.
