This palest of pale
rosé wines is made from Grenache, Mourvedre, Syrah and a dash of Viognier. 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's 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 and it still very pale. 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 rosé's should
be. We cannot wait for summer holiday lunches on the deck. R98 a bottle from
the farm
