Leaving South London in 2010 to set up the Mirabeau domaine in Provence, this energetic English couple have always aimed high. This is their Grenache-led, direct press rosé, which is a little restrained and delicate on the nose initially, but comes alive in the mouth, filling you up with strawberries, redcurrants, grapefruit and fresh garrigue herbs. The acidity is laser fresh and keeps the sweet fruit in check, finishing almost like an elegant white wine. Why not try with Thai food.
