2023 Moulin de la Roque Bandol Rosé

Love Tempier but don’t like spending $60 on a bottle of rosé? Try this underpriced stunner! 65% Mourvedre, 30% Grenache, and 5% Cinsault; all organically farmed. Full bodied and powerful, as the pink wines from Bandol tend to be.  The perfumed, structured Mourvèdre casts its spell on this ripe, textured wine. Wild strawberry and spice flavors have a youthful bite of acidity and crispness, balanced by the intense fruitiness of classic Provence grapefruit pith.  Will keep tasting great for the next two-four years, so stock up! Les Hauts du Vallon is produced by Moulin de La Roque winery in the charming village of La Cadière-d’Azur, looking toward the Mediterranean Sea. Established in 1950 as a storage cellar, Moulin de La Roque began producing its own wines as a cooperative in 1964, and today includes 198 winegrowers.
