Figueirasse Gris de Gris Rose 2011
Bright, fresh, and clean with a top note of watermelon near but not quite to the rind and replete with bright alpen strawberries –juicy fresh in the mouth, alive on the lifted and minty palate. As one with an appetite for food friendly wine and not looking for a stiff cocktail 12.5% is welcomed. In a world where few rosés are more than merely quaffable, this wine has presence, spice, texture and confidence –a delight! Welcome to Grenache Gris from the Languedoc Coast of Golfe de Lion.
