2023 Dio Fili - Xinomavro-Moschomavro Siatista Rose

A custom cuvée for European Cellars and a joint project between Eric Solomon and Jean-Marc Lafage, Bastide Miraflors is a cuvée created from old vine Grenache (30%) grown on the schist and granite soils of Saint-Paul de Fenouillet, a terroir that always ripens late in the year, and Syrah (70%) from gravelly soils near the Mediterranean. After a long maceration of six weeks, the wine ages for 12 months in roughly 3/4 concrete vats and 1/4 600L French oak demi-muids.

Costamolino, named for the area, is made from Vermentino, an aromatic white grape variety that thrives in the Mediterranean climate of Sardinia. The grapes are harvested in August and September and vinified in stainless-steel tanks to retain acidity. A small percentage sees malolactic fermentation to give the wine roundness and texture.

From our best-selling (and Bassins direct import) grower Foucher Lebrun... this "baby Sancerre" drinks way above its price point!

This collaboration between Chateau Beychevelle and top Bordeaux Negociant Barriere Freres is one of our best-selling white wines. 100% Sauvignon Blanc, this is crisp, refreshing and flat out amzazing for the price!
