Rosé

From an imaginative producer just outside St Tropez, this rosé has been fermented and aged in acacia and oak with the ambition of achieving the aromatic complexity of oak aged rum. There is definitely some subtle oak present, but it does not dominate. There is a touch of maritime mineral salinity, but it really is the Tibouren which shines centre stage here. Creamy richness, smooth and lush with dried apricots and peaches, black tea, spice and a touch of roasted nuts. Concentrated, firm and mouthfilling with real charm and complexity. Not a classic or commercial Provence rosé maybe, but certainly a stylish and confident wine.
