    Dark opaque purple. Sweet spice, black pepper and dark fruit on the nose. Soft, supple, velvet-coated tannins and lots of smooth alcohol. Saline, mouthwatering, juicy black fruit and big, juicy hedgerow fruit with slight notes of tobacco. Generous ripe fruit beautifully poised with just enough crunchy red berries to cut through it all. Silky, well-balanced, fresh and energised. It is certainly decadent and extracted, ending on a hint of complexity with real personality.

Elizabeth started working with the wines of Provence back in 1986, and for the past 20 years has lived on the eastern edge of south-east France. We’ve worked on three books on rosé: Rosé Understanding the Pink Wine Revolution (2018), Elizabeth Gabay’s Buyers Guide to the Rosés of Southern France (2021 e-guide) and, most recently Rosés of Southern France (2022).
