5 O'Clock Wines Rosé
Country: France
Region: Languedoc
Grapes: Grenache, Cinsault
Vintage: 2023
Exclusive to Gnarly Vines and Clapton Craft, the 5 O'Clock red, white and rosé are made for us by Alma Cersius, a quality and ecologically minded co-operative of 150 growers near Béziers in the Languedoc. Here the sea breeze coming from the Mediterranean is often accompanied by the Cers; a cold, dry and bracing wind which comes in from the Pyrenees to the west, creating typically sun-drenched southern French wines but with great freshness and sapidity.
The 2023 rosé is a blend of Grenache and Cinsault from a mixture of pebble and alluvial clay soils. Super fresh and fragrant with lifted aromas of wild strawberries, pink grapefruit, and floral hints of the garrigue.
