True Coast Grenache & Cinsault, Rosé, 2023
PRESENTATION
Lafon crafted this wine with a simple yet smart touch. The fruits were gently handled and fermented cool in the winery, all to keep those bright, lively aromas and the fresh zing of the fruit flavors intact. This approach nails the perfect balance in how the wine feels in your mouth – it's got just the right texture, smoothness, and a taste that lingers just long enough to make you want more.
LOCATION
For this wine, Bruno handpicked grapes from Grenache Noir and Cinsault vines that ripen early, giving us juicy flavors without too much sugar. In the winery, these grapes get the VIP treatment think cool fermentation to lock in those punchy aromas and lively fruitiness. This careful process makes sure the wine hits your palate just right, with a smooth texture and a finish that leaves you wanting just one more sip.
VINIFICATION
Bruno sticks to the classic way of making wine, but with a twist. He uses stainless steel tanks and keeps a close eye on the temperature – it's all about protecting those natural fruity flavors that make each grape variety stand out. The process involves directly pressing the grapes and ditching the stalks, ensuring every drop of juice is pure and packed with taste.

TASTING
This one is like a breath of fresh air – crisp, cool, and oh-so-refreshing. It's got this super light color with just a tease of salmon pink. Sniff it, and you're hit with clean, zesty citrus and white pear scents, all jazzed up with a touch of jasmine. The taste? A delightful maze of rich nectarine flavors mixed with a sneaky hint of yeasty goodness. Perfect for sunny days outdoors, it's a slam dunk with light salads, pasta, and rice dishes, especially if there's seafood or shellfish involved. And don't forget grilled fish and goat cheese. It's pretty much the go-to drink when the weather's warm.
