Lumiere Provence Rosé 2025
$45, 13%, screwcap, Provence.
There’s a dry, stony aspect to this – always a good character in pretty much any wine – and it’s backed by strawberry and red cherry fruit flavours. In other words, we have a perfect combination of fruitiness and dryness here. There’s texture, a little bit of grip, more than a little character and a general context of crisp refreshment. It’s a gorgeous rosé. 94 points.
