Château de l'Escarelle Croix d'Engardin Rosé 2019

This is a really serious rosé with a level of depth and intensity that is rare to find. It’s full and very lively, showing dried peach and pineapple with some white-pepper and stone undertones. Wonderful fruit and length. Drink now.

Named after the cross of the Knights Templar who built a fortress on the estate in the Middle Ages, this is a heady blend of Syrah, Grenache and Cinsault selected from individual parcels. With its intense red and yellow fruits and ripe structure, the wine has a perfumed, floral character. It could even age, but will be ready from late 2020.
