Variety: 55% Grenache, 35% Cinsault, 10% Clairette
Location: Rhône Valley, FR
Alcohol: 11-14%

Pale soft cherry red with white gold and ruby highlights. Lovely nose of strawberry confit with red cherry, raspberry leaf and chalky minerality. Rich full (for rosé) palate is immediately comforting. Sweet spices blend with macerating red fruits while light reduction and savory cool limestone minerality add a savory foil.

Whole bunches undergo partial carbonic maceration and then are lightly macerated with skins before being pressed off to finish fermentation at 18˚C. The wine then goes through malolactic conversion and is rested in tank for 6-8 months. It is unfined and unfiltered and has 1g of SO2 added at bottling.

Cuvée from the “Thomas” plot located on the Plateau de Vallongue. Parcel is certified organic or in conversion, using only bouillie bordelaise as treatments.
