Beautiful wine. Bone dry, strawberry and cream. No pepper from the grenache.

Not yet anyway. Sometimes the pepper shows on these Provence wines as they chill.

Rose of the year for me so far.

Syrah - Cinsault - Grenache

As it gets colder this wine loses it's creamy texture and taste and becomes more watery with an ever so slightly bitter aftertaste.

Amazing just how many whites and pinks are so much nicer at room temp.

It's still ok when chilled but just an ordinary Provence style rose.

And yet...with food...the creamyness is back and the bitterness is gone and it's back to being the rose of the year.

I'll shut up now.

Nah! don't shut up but please don't p**s me about. The last pinko that I've had was at parties in the late 60s early 70s. Are these Provence and WB sparkling REALLY quaffable????

Ba,

If you like the Wolf Blass white sparkly then you must like the 09 pink sparkly as it is by far the better wine. Drink the first glass as cold as cold can be without turning to ice and then let it warm up so that you can judge for yourself the temp you like. I prefer my still wines warm and sparklers cold

Provence is an acquired taste. In fact, I haven't acquired it. I like Provence that doesn't have the classic peppery aftertaste.

This wine is nice but does need food.
