Description
In a nutshell:
An attractively pale, fresh, crisp and clean southern French rosé.
The lowdown:
Les Vignobles Foncalieu are largish cooperative based near Carcasonne in the Languedoc and in addition to the more regular styles of wine from this part of the world they also put some more rarely seen varieties to very good use as with this excellent value rosé. The grape used here is Picpoul Noir and is the dark-skinned sibling of the white grape used in the popular Picpoul de Pinet and, indeed, you'll be able to pick out some of the similarities in character. With a very pale pink colour it has delicate aromas of crushed rose petals with lemony notes that follow through onto the crisp and dry palate with great fresh strawberry and cranberry red fruit flavours. It's got a decent bit of weight making it a bit fuller in the mouth than some, but is still refreshing and easy drinking.
When to drink:
An excellent alternative to a classic Provençal rosé it's quite simply a lovely wine to drink by itself, or to partner with shellfish and summer salads.
Suitable for Vegans
