"Very pale - just the lightest touch of pink. Lifted creamy melon nose with a hints of strawberry skin. Taut refreshing mid palate - not overly complex - but lovely and crisp with a fresh & clean finish. Great all round - all purpose summer Rosé. " ***1/2 James K, 04/09/24
Fits its price point very well. Neat, dapper, dry and wearing the uniform of Provence-like correctly. If this is the style of wine you're looking for, you'd do your wallet a great favour by picking this over a sea of overpriced and identical wines from Provence actual. 15 Tamlyn Currin (for Jancis Robinson)
