Reviews
"Grenache, Cinsault and Syrah.
It tastes of those tiny vineyard peaches when they’re still crunchy and there is also a distinctly rose-petal floral note which gives a very pretty lift to the finish. Lovely smooth texture, like the shiny curve of a ripe apple. Uncomplicated but balanced and attractive."
