Presentation
Presentation
Want something a little lighter to drink over the summer without compromising on taste and without going completely ‘dry’? Partly in defiance to the recent norms and partly out of respect for the old ways, Vincent & François seek to return to the origins of winemaking and to offer more approachable and balanced wines that are low in alcohol.
Terroir
The fruit for this wine was carefully selected from early ripening Grenache Noir vineyard sites that express ripe flavors at lower sugar levels.
Winemaking
All grapes were crushed, pressed and settled for 48hrs prior to cool fermentation in stainless steel tanks to ensure the wine has bright aromatics and fresh fruit flavors, without compromising the palate weight, texture and length.

Tasting
More than just trendy, this wine is a perennial classic: bone-dry in structure and featuring notes fresh flowers, a racy minerality, dry flavors of pear juice, pink grapefruit and strawberry-and-cream sweets. It's a refreshing alternative in the sunshine and while al-fresco dining.
