THE WINES
100% Blaufrankisch, and at 5g/L residual sugar, comparable to the allowable 4g/L in appellation Côtes de Provence. Great presence of flavour and again, a fine companion for bold food flavours, a particular favourite of ours for spicy dining, particularly Thai. The estate hooked us up with local artist Sara Filipovič to design a much-improved label – as a total package, this wine found quick favour among our crowded rosé offerings and we think represents cracking value and a distinct personality.

ABOUT THE PRODUCER
With our eye on this producer for some time, we are delighted to have finally been able to secure an allocation of these amazing wines. With first recorded history of winegrowing here in 1610, the 500 hectare property comprises 40 hectares of some 77 plots of organically grown vines (certified), over marble, limestone and red clay soils, between 300 – 600 metres altitude, making this estate the highest in Southern Provence. The diversity here of soil and aspect/altitude gives enormous scope for this estate to blend and craft complex and detailed wines, assisted by a state of the art winery replete with concrete egg fermenters.
Sainte-Victoire is a jaw-droppingly beautiful part of Provence and raises some of the region’s most distinctive wines due to its high limestone content in its soils, and the sun reflection from Mont Sainte Victoire. Grand Boise are a leading producer often used by the Provence Wine Council as a benchmark of this appellation’s style. Rosé production at this estate is 50%, bucking the region’s norm of 90%+ at many addresses.
