Peyrassol La Criox Mediterranee RosÉ
2024 Provence, France
"La Croix" represents a rosé from further afield than Provence, made with fruit from Peyrassol's IGP-classified vineyard around the Coudonnier area, as well as fruit sourced from organic partner growers. Its blend is dominated by Cinsault (40%), followed by 30% Grenache, 20% Syrah, and 10% Caladoc, a crossing of Grenache and Malbec. We love it for its intensity, a joyous melange of red berry fruit complemented by a bit of citrus (blood orange, grapefruit), and the saline, mineral-tinged finish.
