This wine will continue to improve with age. This wine should mature 5-15 years.

This rosé is decidedly savory, with tobacco leaf, cherry pit and tilled earth aromas that turn spicier in the finish. It’s a fascinating counterpoint to the light, bright Provencal style of rosé, and one that’s well suited to pairing with food. Sustainably farmed. Drink now.
