Brise Maritime Mediterranée IGP 2025

With summer in Australia, it is a wonder that we drink anything other than a good glass of chilled Rosé. Perhaps some top-notch sparkling would also be in order, but surely every fridge in this country has a bottle of Rosé at the ready for this weather. This is a blend of Grenache Noir, Cinsault and Syrah from the Mediterranée sub-region in the South of France. The fermentation is carefully controlled, when it comes to the temperature. A very pale orange/pink hue, we have lovely aromas of florals and citrus with pink grapefruits to the fore, well supported by hints of fresh watermelon. Juicy acidity runs the length and there is good focus and a clean finish. The wine has weight but also finesse, and is a most attractive style for drinking over the next two to three years.
