MAS D'AUZIERES 'Rires et Sourires'  Rose (2007)

Syrah, Grenache, Mourvedre

 

A deep, deep rose colour.

Legend has it that this wine was the result of a small error in the winery. After harvest, Irene had filled the tanks with grapes to start the fermentation process. As it was her first vintage she had misjudged the amount of swelling that goes on in during the process and precious juice began to squirt from every seam of the tank. Quickly she coupled up some pipes and bled off this excess fluid - et voila! The rose was created.

Intense ripe, spicy cherry fruit and lovely fresh crisp acidity. For those who like big, blockbuster pinks - an absolute treat.
