Malmont Rosé 2021

Grown high in the hills above Séguret in the Southern Rhône, the Malmont vines struggle though rock-laden nutrient-poor soils, slowing their maturation. The west-facing hillside at 1200 feet of elevation enjoys plentiful breezes throughout the growing season, keeping the grapes cool and healthy. The resulting wines are almost an anomaly in the modern Rhône Valley: organic, delicious southern red blends that barely hit 13.5% alcohol.

Beautifully balanced at 13% alcohol, this is the perfect provencal style rosé – a 65/35 Grenache/Syrah blend. The nose is floral with notes of wild strawberries and chalk. The mouth is cool and fresh, with excellent tension and plenty of southern volume.
