Grenache Graciano Rosé 2024

We were a bit concerned that we may not be able to emulate the delicious 2023 Rosé but we shouldn't have worried. It is fair to say that the 2024 is an absolute cracker and is arguably a step up on the 2023.

A delicious, fresh and aromatic Rosé with the palest of onion skin blush. Watermelon rind, strawberry, cherries and a dollop of tangy rhubarb and blood orange zest segue into a crisp, mouthwatering finish.

A blend of 85% Grenache and 15% Graciano, the Grenache component is split into two fractions and cool fermented in stainless steel. One tank is fermented with a champagne yeast to capture the juicy red Grenache fruits whereas the other tank is fermented with a yeast selected to enhance the blood orange characters. The Graciano is wild fermented in a well seasoned puncheon to build on the inherent savoury notes. The Graciano’s naturally high acidity provides a counterpoint to the Grenache’s juicy red fruits. Only the free run juice is used to maximise the purity and finesse.

This is one serious Rosé and will even convert your “No way Rosé!” mates to the joys of some skin contact!
