The first vintage of this wine, with maybe a hint of inspiration from the saline oakiness of a good whisky! Fermented in 500l barrels, this rosé is quite oaky, textural and grippy, in a modern Provence style with a Portuguese accent. Fresh and zippy, very structural, with the oak giving it a firm, assertive backbone.
