Same River Twice Rosé

2022 Vin de France Rosé | Ventoux | France

In terms of notes think:

It’s a blend of 60% Cinsault and 40% Grenache Noir. Cinsault is similar to Grenache Noir but lighter and juicier. 

Cinsault also brings out a raspberry, peach and lemon citrus fruit flavours, Grenache Noir brings out herbes de Provence, strawberry and red cherry fruit, and provides depth and body. The wine is dry, light to medium-bodied, and at 12.5% alcohol much lighter than is typical of wines from the region. It has low acidity but super freshness and a gentle tannin to support simple fresh salads, soft cheeses, and smoked salmon!It’s a clean, persistent, feel-good wine.

Le Grappin

2022 Cinsault | VDF | France

This beauty is from the small parcel near Nyons in the upper reaches of the Southern Rhône. Hand-harvested and placed in small stainless-steel vat for a 2 week full carbonic maceration. Pressed and aged in stainless steel thereafter for 7 months. Unfined, unfiltered.

In terms of notes think: spicy, fruity, smoky flavours, with ripe strawberry, cherry and dried fruit notes. Throw in some black pepper and cloves for good measure!

Be well and keep quenching that
thirst for wine and life!
