Rasteau

Rosé

It is easy to forget that many of the vin doux naturel wines of Rasteau are actually at their base made as a rosé wine before being fortified – so a good excuse here to include this amazing tawny Rasteau. Age in oak has turned it a tawny brown-orange. On the nose, notes of desiccated coconut and toasted nuts open up to the smooth, mellow fruit of bitter oranges, red cherries and raspberry jam before diving into complex notes of digestive biscuits and sun-kissed garrigue herbs. Stunning acidity, structure, perfect fruit with gentle tannins keeping things up. Beautifully balanced.
