This palest of pale rosé wines is
made from Grenache, Mourvedre and Syrah. Bartho took a risk. He says the grapes
were producing such beautiful juice this year that he blended the juice first
and then made the wine. It is a risk, and very hard to repeat
The wine was so
pale that he had to add a dash of red to give it some colour. It has produced a
delicate wine, with a floral perfume of rose geranium on the nose and the
palate. If you close your eyes it smells and tastes like a gentle Rhône red
wine, but it is so pale. Pure gorgeousness, how all rosés
should be. We cannot wait for summer Sunday lunches on the deck. R98 a bottle from the cellar
