Minnow Rosé Grenache Cinsaut Mourvèdre 2025

A generous mouth filling palate shows rich peaches and cream that flows on and on. The grenache gives the wine lovely mouth-coating texture and warmth. The palate is long and flowing with oodles of flavour. The fine lacey tannins frame the wine, whilst fine acidity keeps the palate fresh and crunchy. The 2025 Minnow Rose is a dangerously drinkable wine best enjoyed chilled with friends on a warm day.
