This soft-pink-hued wine is lively, with aromas of bramble berries, dried apricot and mineral on the nose. On the palate, flavors of strawberry and raspberry compote are layered with fresh herbs, white peach, grapefruit zest and sedimentary rock, with a dry, supple finish. Pair with your next beach adventure.
A blend of carignan, grenache and mourvèdre picked at its most expressive moment, with medium-low brix and bright acidity. Aromas of strawberry, ripe melon and spicy peach. This rose' presents a rounded mouthfeel, well balanced with a refreshing acidity, enhancing its flavors.
2023 was an amazing year! Early spring rains soaked the vines, continuing into early summer with three times the usual rainfall. This cooler, late-ripening vintage allowed for longer hang times, resulting in the darkest reds and intense whites we've seen in years. Look out for vintage 2023 - it's going to be one for the books.
