It’s all about red fruit. Cherries. Raspberries. Cranberries. It’s seriously juicy and seriously delicious, with a nice fullness which is classic California.
White - Cave des Vignerons de Buxy 'Les Millières' Montagny Premier Cru 2022/23
Caves de Buxy is known as an excellent, quality-conscious producer and because they’re a cooperative with access to grapes from a variety of top-notch growers, it’s excellent value for money. Fermented and matured in stainless steel tanks to preserve the really pure, ripe fruit flavours. Peach. Pear. Honey. It’s a really delicious glassful, with a nicely rich texture that’s still fresh.
Rose - Peyrassol 'Les Templiers' Organic Rosé 2024/25, Côtes de Provence
This rosé is a blend of five different varieties, which are harvested in the coolest hours of the night to preserve their exceptional freshness. Discover crisp notes of peach, raspberry and citrus zest, with a delicate herbal character. Several months of lees ageing gives it a rounded texture that’s perfect with seafood or a niçoise salad.
