Rosé

After years of working as a famous distributor of Provence rosé in the French Riviera, Jean Gallo realised his dream and set up Domaine des Mapliers, located in Lorgues, in the Var region of Southern France. The 10ha vineyard is nestled amongst 1,000 olive trees, producing its own olive oil, as well as white, red and rosé wines with Grenache, Cinsault, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Vermentino and Ugni Blanc varieties. The Abacus is a blend of Grenache, Cinsault, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon, using organic practices in the vineyard, with each variety and plot vinified separately in stainless steel tanks, before blended for the final product.

Nicolas Clerc MS: Earthy, mineral, Mediterranean, fennel, star anise character, marzipan, green olive. Warming alcohol on the palate to start, but a generous and solid style, very gastronomic!
Elizabeth Gabay MW: Perfumed, floral, apples - almost bruised apples.Salty saline acidity. There’s a nice counterbalance of ripe fruit and saltiness.
Joanna Simon: A very, very pale salmon colour. Delicate sweet-peach and burnished cream aromas. Textured, quite rich, peachy but fresh palate with sweet garrigue notes and a long finish. Lots of substance. A fraction hot, but has the acidity to balance.
