GSM Rosé, Château Mourgues du Grès

50% Grenache/40% Syrah/10% Mourvèdre

Certified biodynamic. From vineyards blanketed in galets, the smooth round stones of Châteauneufdu- Pape fame, comes a vivacious, garnet-colored rosé with bright red fruit notes. Galets Rosé gets a few hours maceration, 2 hours fermentation for Syrah and Mourvedre, 4 hours for Grenache giving the wine a darker color than the Fleur d’Eglantine cuvee and a bit more spice and structure. No sulfites during the winemaking process and minimum amount added at bottling.

The ‘Galets’ are reminiscent of our terroir of rounded stones known as ‘grès’. Sculpted by the moraine of the Rhône glacier in the Quaternary Period, they characterise the Costières de Nîmes in the south of the Rhône Valley. This cuvee comes in all three colours; their robes resemble the shades of our white stones [Galets Dorés], pink stones [Galets Rosés] and red stones [Galets Rouges]. The minerality contributes to the balance of the wine.
