2018 Routas Coteaux Varois Rose

Made from a blend of 45% Cinsault, 35% Grenache and 20% Syrah. Very pale salmon colour with a water hue. Aromas of peach and strawberry intermix with hints of raspberry and musk followed by wet stone notes. Beautifully textured, round, supple mouthfeel with flavours of raspberry, strawberry and some peach delivered with great intensity over a stony mineral back drop. Excellent length with a dry refreshing finish and a long delicious aftertaste.

The nose here is immediately captivating with its freshness, focus and interest. It suggests sea salt, thyme, freshly squeezed nectarines and a touch of well-executed, lifted citrus. The palate shows some good density and the fruit/acid balance is played out nicely. Medium-bodied and sleek and refreshing. Makes you come back for more. Routas on the money as always. Drink now.
