Reynoble Garnacha Rose
Fresh, delicate, and floral, with wild berries. Also strawberry notes typical of the Garnacha grape. Light and tasty, lively acidity, nice body and very agreeable with an uncharacteristically long finish in the mouth for a rosé. Made from certified organic grapes, at this price, what's not to like?
Chateau Plaisance Fronton Rosé
The Negrette grape variety is thought to have originated in Iraq. Today, it is found in the Gaillac and Fronton appellations—where it has been grown for over 2,000 years. Much more recently, since the 1870’s, the Pénavayres have been growing vines in Fronton, dividing their time between winemaking, livestock and fruit trees. This lovely expression of Negrette, Syrah and Gamay is beautiful light coral in color, with an inviting nose of red fruits, white flowers and spices, round and lively on the palate, it's a rosé to enjoy throughout the Spring and Summer. Only 2000 cases were produced, so try it while you can. Winemaking Details: Unfined and unfiltered

Chateau de Roquefort Grele Rosé
On July 1st, 2012, a hailstorm of incredible violence destroyed the totality of Chateau de Roquefort’s 62 acres of vines in 7 minutes. Doubting the extent of the damage, neighbors and fellow growers stopped by and were stricken by what they saw. One of them offered part of his crop, followed by a second, then a third, and when it was all done, 35 different estates all pitched in to help. This wine is made from diverse appellations in the Rhône and Provence blended together into one delicious rosé.
Domaine Hauvette Rosé
Domaine Hauvette was created by Dominique Hauvette, an ex-lawyer who moved to Les Baux to start her domaine. This rose offers beautiful aroma of herbs, floral and mineral wrapped in berry and citrus. The palate is as complex with blend of berries of all sorts, hints of orange and a bit of spice. Winemaking Details: Aged in Tank, Low SO2 Added
Domaine de la Patience Box Rosé
This rosé was racked by bleeding and opening the base of the vat while the wine is still light in color. Traditional vinification without clusters, aged in concrete vat with minimum sulfur. Rose peony color with a great aromatic red-fruit richness. The Grenache offers freshness on the palate with a persistent nectar on the nose. A crisp and fruit-forward wine.
