Brise Maritime Mediterranee IGP Rose 2025
$30, 12.5% alcohol, screwcap, France.
This is a textural, refreshing rose with a good nod to savouriness – courtesy of tonic and decayed rose notes – and just-enough red apple and citrus flavours to keep you and everyone happy. Indeed this rosé has a bit of presence too, which never hurts. It’s perfectly turned out, and is an excellent choice for drinking. 93 points.
