Clear, bright, rose petal colour in the glass. Perfumed with floral aromas and fresh red berries on the nose. Clean on entry with balanced acidity. Full mouthfeel, enhanced by notes of white-fleshed fruit.
Made from Grenache and Cinsault, the Grenache grapes are grown on clay and 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 fruitiness and freshness.
This is very good value for money. A Piedmont red under $30! It has good dark fruit, some nice tannins and acid to balance although it would benefit from some more age to smooth it a bit but I liked its feistiness now.
I was happily surprised by the quality of the labels in the "mystery" case of rose wines - great value for the money I must say. Excellent drinking experience from the unfamiliar labels and happy to enjoy again the familiar ones.
