Description
In a nutshell:
An elegant, fresh and crisp rosé from Morocco with the delicate hue of a Provençal Pink.
The lowdown:
When it comes to wine Morocco is certainly off the beaten track, but when you take into account its French cultural connections and that parts of the country have great growing conditions there's every reason to expect good stuff to emerge from there. Domaine de la Zouina is, in fact, French owned and run and they do make some terrific, and not expensive, wines. Made from a blend of Caladoc, Mourvèdre and Marselan this rosé is stylistically quite southern French in character and has the delicate, pale colouring you'd see from Provence. It's got fresh and crisp peachy aromas with some bright red fruit flavours and a subtle touch of florality and minerality on the palate.
The Producer:
Morocco, might not be a big wine producer but it certainly has the right climate and potential. And its colonial history did bequeath quite a viticultural heritage. It was against this background that Bordeaux vignerons Gérard Gribelin and Philippe Gervoson bought the rundown Domaine de la Zouina in 2002. These days things are thriving and with Gérards son, Christophe running the estate their savoir-faire combined with the propitious terroir of the vineyards their wines are certainly worth taking notice of.
When to drink:
Zesty and bright, it's perfect, nicely chilled, just by itself, or drink it with a Mediterranean Mezze platter
