Clarendelle, Bordeaux Rosé, 2022

A top-end rosé. Not only are the tantalising berry and citrus flavours of this pink just perfect, but it’s also a wine of serious pedigree. The wine is deliciously crisp. Floral, red berries and stone fruit nose, refreshing and full flavoured, packed with red berries and a grapefruit finish.
