This wine feels like a modern classic thanks to instantly eye-catching pink vitality and enchanting fruit flavours. Delivering impressive length through strawberry power, there’s a discreet savoury twist. Along with a playful tangy finish, this wine keeps things nimble with just 11.8% alcohol. The Grenache comes from Whistler’s own organic and biodynamic vineyards. Mataro is from older vines in Greenock. Wild-fermented, sustainable and scrumptious: yet another smash hit from The Wine Society’s rising star wine buyer Freddy Bulmer.
