2023 Domaine de la Bastide Blanche Bandol Rose Provence, France Cati Ribot 2017 Carmelo SantanaBlend of organically farmed Mourvdre, Grenache, Cinsault. An absolute beauty of a ros at this price point. Mouthwatering aromas of strawberry cream on the nose, followed by a silky, refined palate with delicate but distinct flavors of melon and peach. A relatively light wine for a southern French ros, but with a texture and character of impressive weight and substance.
