This wine is a blend of Grenache, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon. The grapes were directly pressed with a little maceration time, and the wine was then fermented and aged in horizontal stainless steel fermenters, on lees, for eight months. Guffens in no fan of the more delicate Côtes de Provence style that proliferates (no surprise!), so you can expect something more intense here: a racy, juicy and mineral 'Provençal-on-steroids' Rosé with ripe red berry, fresh herb and iodine notes; delicious pulpy, almost chewy texture; and a long, powdery close.

Region
The picturesque southern French region of Provence is another one of those wine destinations that prompts daydreams of lying around the pool, sipping pale savoury rose wines while staring out over the azure waters of the mediterranean. The land is well suited to growing grapes; limestone. mica-rich schists, the influence of ironstone, beautiful weather and the Mistral keeping disease pressure down; it’s got a lot of things going for it. It’s a region famous for its light, dry rosé, white wines produced from Vermentino, Ugni Blanc, Rolle, Semillon and Clairette, red blends of Cabernet and Syrah and wonderfully complex single-variety and blended wines from Carignan, Grenache, Cinsault and Mourvedre. Provence consists of three appellations; the catch-all Côtes de Provence, the Coteaux d'Aix-en-Provence in the west and the higher elevations and limestone soils of Coteaux Varois et Provence. Local Knowledge: The Mourvedre-based wines of Bandol are one of the regions highlights. Look towards producers such as Domaine Tempier, Chateau du Pibarnon and Domaine du Gros ‘Noré.
