ORGANIC (UNCERTIFIED) / VEGAN / NATURAL/NO ADDED SULPHITES

This natural ros comes from a fairly unknown growing region in the centre of France, bordered by extinct volcanoes. The mineral-rich soil brings out lovely stony notes, complemented by subdued strawberry flavours and delicate florals. The vines are fairly old for Gamay, having been planted in the 1970s, and the developed flavours are already shining through. Surprising flavours of blood orange, bitter grapefruit and amaro, this is one we look forward to every year.

Jean Maupertuis maintains his 3.5 hectare plots all himself, hand pruning and picking, and upholding organic practices. His production is tiny, so whenever we can get our hands on some of his delicious natural offerings, we don’t hesitate as they tend to disappear quickly!
