A lovely complex and full bodied Rose. A beautiful light salmon colour. The nose is about aromatic complexity with tropical fruit abounding - fresh red berry, watermelon, papaya and mango. The palate is about weight and texture with a spicy anise flavour, saline minerality, some tannic presence and alcohol warmth. The length is excellent. This is fresh summer sipping but has the body and texture to stand up to grilled meat like chicken and pork. Very enjoyable. July 2020.
Blend of 40% Mourvèdre, 30% Grenache, and 30% Cinsault. Lovely, fresh, balanced, and complex aromas of nectarine, melon, citrus, grapefruit, red berry, and blackberry with touches of minerality. The dry, medium-full bodied palate has a lovely texture with fresh, vibrant acidity and spicy berry, orchard fruit, currant, anise, and saline mineral flavours. Some wild herbs on the mid-palate, while mineral notes linger on the long, juicy finish. Complex, elegant, and refreshing. Recommended buy. Tasted July/2020.
