Tournon Mathilda Chapoutier Rosé 2016

Victoria, AustraliaChapoutier's venture in Victoria has been a success and this rosé is just another example of what you can do when you pay attention to the details. The colour is Provence pink, the nose a bright mix of exuberant strawberry and raspberry with a dash of peach. The palate is that juicy, watery, thirst quenching style with more mineral red fruit flavours with a touch or orange. Light, refreshing, perfect pink in an easy screwcap. This 2016 over delivers in terms of youthfulness revealing the freshness of this 100-percent grenache. Technically perfect – whole bunch pressed at low pressure, the juice is cold settled without enzymes, retaining a high level of turbidity, and fermented at low temperature with natural yeasts to 12.5 percent alcohol. Charcuterie is the match. Real wine, stock up.Tasted: 25 May 2018Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
