Reserve de Gassac

Rosé, Reserve de Gassac

Known as Languedoc’s ‘First Growth’ (this references Bordeaux’s top wineries like Lafite and Mouton Rothschild), the Guibert family only established the winery in the 80s, but happily they realised their holiday home was situated on one of France’s great terroirs (the combination of climate, soil and appropriate variety that makes French wines great).

Serve with light salads like barbecued little gems with cucumber and white beans, pasta dishes, shellfish, and grilled fish. Or a cheeky hot dog.

Expect this Languedoc grenache, syrah, and carignan blend to taste of pink grapefruit and red berry fruits.
