South of France

Fresh, acidulous and greedy rose with delicate notes of red fruits, enjoy as an aperitif or for any other occasion.

Olives groves and vines flourish in the sun-drenched Mediterranean summers of southern France where we have selected wines from 2 parcels to produce this fresh, aromatic white wine. The clean, zippy fruit from the Sauvignon Blanc is complemented by the more luscious, exotic fruit flavours of the Rolle (otherwise known as Vermentino). The interwoven flavours deliver a wine of character that is fresh, crisp and a real delight to drink.

The nose of mulberries goes on to reveal redcurrant and blackcurrant aromas. There is an intriguing bitter-sweet character of creme de cassis with a touch of underlying parma violets. Extremely fine red fruit flavours fill the mouth, raspberries come to the fore and are backup up with a touch of buttery, chocolate-truffle richness. A beautifully balance wine. Delicious with steak and grilled meat as well as seared tuna.

Domaine Lafran Veyrolles is situated in Cadiere d'Azur, reputed to be one of the best sites in the Bandol region with vineyards sited on gently undulating slopes of limestones and clay. The philosophy at this historic estate is of minimal intervention both in the vineyard and throughout the winemaking process. Predominantly made from the Mourvedre grape variety with some Grenache Noir and Cinsault. Best enjoyed at 12C.
