Voulez Vous Rose
Have you ever enjoyed the expression of the traditional dry Rose produced in the Provence region of southern France? Their beautiful pale pink color and their light, crisp and fruit-forward palate make them absolutely generous and delicious. Freshness is the signature of this Cuvee, which is perfect served slightly chilled. And easy to drink on any occasion. So the question is: Voulez-Vous Rose anyone? Pale pink color with violet glints. The nose expresses notes of red berries and dark citrus fruits. The palate is a combination of sweetness and opulence with a background of freshness and vivacity. Very coated texture.

Medium-bodied, rich and perfumed. A rush of summer berry fruits and sweet spice notes. An aromatic, approachable wine that offers great versatility with a wide selection of cuisines, including grilled red meats, Italian sausage and antipasto. Aromas: An inviting nose that offers perfumed aromatics and pastry-like complexity. A note of lifted cherry danish, complete with a subtle hint of icing dusting. The sweetness continues with cannoli filled with creamy custard, while vanilla and almond slivers add a nutty, floral richness. Cranberry and forest fruits provide a vibrant core, highlighted by exotic spices like cardamom, cinnamon and thyme. Floral notes of hibiscus blend seamlessly with aromas of white strawberry and fresh plum, resulting in a nose that is both sweet and bright. Palate: On the palate, this medium-bodied wine unfolds gracefully, showcasing luscious, sweet fruits alongside dark generous offerings that speak to its three-varietal composition.

Xavier Vignon Côtes du Rhône Grenache Vieilles Vignes
Xavier Vignon is one of the top consultant winemakers in the south of France. He used to be a master champagne blender (so he knows a thing or two about constructing wines) but now lives in the Rhône Valley from where he visits around 300 estates to advise them on viticulture and vinification. Xavier is a great enthusiast of blending and is always on the lookout for terroirs with potential as he works with creative freedom to produce top wines. The result is a collection of wines adding a modern touch to the pure essence of Rhône wines. With this bottling of carefully selected grapes from very old vines, Xavier uses only certified organic farmed fruit and vegan production practices to handcraft the finest environmentally sensitive wine. Plump and fruity, this Grenache-dominant blend offers a sunny attack bursting with luscious blackberry and blueberry flavors (with the velvety nature of Grenache (85%) against Syrah (5%) & Mourvèdre's (10%) vitality and perfume. It's an unctuous, fruity wine cushioned by soft acidity and feathery tannins. Immediately enjoyable.
MYSTERY760 McLaren Vale Grenache
Juicy, with red and black fruits, blood orange and herbaceous flavours with natural acidity and a smooth finish.
Gabriel Meffre Ventoux
Gabriel Meffre winery was established in 1936. It has since won the repuation as one of the best producers in the southern Rhone. Their Ventoux vineyard is located mainly on the sediment left by the seas of the Tertiary period at the base of the limestone massif of Ventoux. The wine is made from grenache and syrah, each component vinified separately before blending, then maturation in vats for 10 months. The result is a wine with a deep red robe and a purple hue. The nose is enticing with hints of ripe red fruits and spices, and the mouth is elegant and round with a spicy finish. This Ventoux, with its spiciness and fruit expression, will pair nicely with charcuterie, a vegetable curry or lamb colombo.
Cirillo The Vincent Grenache
Marco Cirillo, the guru of Grenache. A true artisan, Marco is the custodian of some of oldest Grenache vines in the world and remarkably he tends to each of the old, gnarly bush vines by hand, some standing 6-feet tall! The resulting Grenache that makes The Vincent has beautiful, fine grained tannin along with fruit that is remarkably vibrant and appealing to the palate.
