CERTIFIED ORGANIC. This wonderful blend of 60% Grenache and 40% Syrah is a long time Bassins direct import and is by far our most requested Rose year in year out. Walter and Kate McKinlay run one of the most beautiful wineries on the planet, located high up in the hills of Seguret very close to Gigondas. With fresh strawberries, great freshness and great "drinkablity" you can just close your eyes and be transported to the South of France!
