2024 Fearon Rosé

Tasting Notes

A complex but ultimately extremely satisfying and moreish expression of Rosé wine, inspired by Blanc de Noir (white from red grapes) wines as much as the classic Provençal style. Pale salmon-pink in colour, confected raspberry, cranberry and ruby grapefruit are laid out atop creaming soda, sherbet and musk lolly. Some fresh spring herbs and sea-spray add a subtle savoury element to the nose. Soft and creamy red fruit on the palate is held aloft by a firm textural acid line, bringing structure and mineral tension. A long saline finish proves thirst-slaking, inviting another sip. Tim firmly believes that this wine is best enjoyed by itself paired with a hot summer afternoon, although the acidity and aromatics do lend itself to pairing magically with squid and chips on the beach.
