“Les Faisses,” meaning “terraces” in Occitan, refers to the vineyards overlooking the Heurault from which this wine was sourced. 60% Grenache and 40% Syrah, this is a vibrant, fruit-forward wine with ripe fruit characteristics of blueberry, raspberry and cherry along with accents of garrigue herbs and soft pepper. An easy-to-drink, ready-to-please wine at an attractive price.

Rich and fruity on the nose with a good amount of gingery spice adding character and complexity to the strong red berry aromas. Ripe plum and cherry skins fill the round mouth and lead through to the solid finish. Medium acidity keeps this rosé balanced.
