2015 Mirabeau en Provence Rosé

The Australian Rosé revolution is in full swing (bottle shops devoting whole shelves to it), and it might be time for me to suggest/start a new one: either Chenin Blanc or Fiano based. But before that, here is another to try. Mirabeau en Provence 2015, made by an Australian couple gone France-ward. Syrah and Grenache based, it’s a pale but bronzed pink with a jube-ish smell of vanilla, strawberries, and cream and a dry palate. It has been a gold winner at the International Wine Challenge. On the label, and the cap top, birds flutter over a vine, possibly mimicking common shapes, but normally you’d not want birds with grape vines!
