Cérès
A pretty salmon pink colour with silvery grey gleams. The nose is fragrant with floral notes of roses and acacia blossom, and exotic fruit such as mango and grapefruit, finishing with aniseed and mint. It’s a bright, fresh, generous wine clearly made for gastronomy, smooth and well-balanced, mingling orchard fruit with strawberry, pomegranate, blackcurrant, and apricot, with aniseed and a touch of liquorice appearing on the finish. A stunning appellation rosé with superb complexity and magnificent concentration which allows it to be enjoyed not only in summer but all year long. Not to be missed.
