Lumiere Provence Rosé 2024

Mattinson review of Lumiere Provence Rosé 2024.

Lumiere Provence Rosé 2024
$40, 13%, screwcap, Provence.

This is exactly what you want from a rosé. It’s pale in colour but if still offers fruit flavours and scents, mostly in the strawberry field but with red cherry in the mix too. It’s dry. It has texture, but it’s a spicy, stony kind of texture rather than anything flaccid. It feels refreshing throughout, and perfumed, and it then feels both juicy and neat through the finish. The aftertaste then brings more strawberries. In short, I’d have no hesitation in recommending this. It’s Exhibit A of how a dry rosé should be. 94 points.
