Exactly what we’ve come to expect from this wine, zesty and fine, the 2024 release showing a more low toned, mineral focused personality. Yellow and pink grapefruit, persimmon and yellow fruits lead here, with a rocky, saline mineral core giving intensity and drive. Easily sessionable with a modest alcohol of 11.5%, a gorgeous option for seafood and grilled vegetables, worthy of augmentation or focus on any rosé list.
“A musky perfume, strawberry, pink grapefruit, watermelon granita, a light smoky top note. It’s juicy, all the bright red fruits and watermelon freshness, some chalkiness, a little tang and grapefruit bite, with a succulent finish of excellent length. Very nice. Vibrant. A nice drink that’s very easy to guzzle, though there’s some complexity here too.” 92 points, Gary Walsh, Winefront
