2023 Bee Pink

Description: Bee Pink is now a firm favourite for our wine club members, and a growing number of independent wine shops. We've made 2600 bottles from this vintage, and we are hoping for a rosé-by-the-pool kind of summer!
It’s made in the Provence style – pale in colour, but with plenty of delicate fruit flavours.
Eyes: An attractive delicate pale pink.
Nose: A bright, and fragrant nose of raspberry granita with a touch of watermelon
Mouth: Bone dry and very refreshing, with light, mouthwatering citrus-peel freshness, and a ripe, exotic palate of white peach and redcurrant
Winemaking Notes: Our friend Jean-Marc Lafage (who owns Chateau St Roch, near Maury, where we make our red wine) is one of the Roussillon’s finest rosé producers. He has allowed us to work with some of his Grenache, Grenache Gris and Syrah grapes to produce our own Bee Pink.
Growing Conditions: After a second dry summer, with a dry winter in between, the lack of water in the region is turning into a crisis, and the vines struggled to flower and ripen a normal sized crop. The heat, and shortage of water resulted in a lower yield of smaller-sized grapes, with plenty of colour and flavour.
Food Pairing: Delicious with a salade nicoise, or a chicken salad, and the taste will transport you to the sunshine and stunning landscape of the South of France.
