l`Orangeraie Vin de Pays Rose 2009

A lively rose petal pink colour, it has a fine Cinsault nose characterised by aromas of blossom and of red fruits, with just a hint of black pepper suggested by the Syrah. A very fruity wine with flavours of raspberry and redcurrant; while there is plenty of fruit on the palate, the wine finishes dry with crisp acidity.

Alcohol Content:12.5
