A blend of 60% Grenache Noir and 40 % Mourvèdre, this Rosé was produced from dryland farmed vineyards. Whole-bunch pressed grapes yielded 550 liters per ton of delicate, delicately coloured juice.

Fermentation in 4000L foudres imparts complexity and flavour intensity to the wine, revealing the full potential of these low yielding vines.

Pale salmon in appearance, with light copper hues, this is a bold take on the classic Provençal style. Maturation in foudre has imbued the subtle fruit aromas of rose petals, pomelo zest and stone fruit with delicate marzipan notes.

The richly layered palate, with its attractive savoury flavours and succulent core of fruit reveals the benefit of lees ageing through a long and perfectly balanced finish.

With only 300 cases of the maiden vintage – this wine is earmarked for allocation
