Gold Medal – Mundus Vini | Meininger 2024
This 130 year old winery only makes rose so all their focus and dedication in the vineyard and winery goes into this outstanding rosé. From a classic blend of Grenache, Syrah and Cinsault.
Refreshingly pale, dry and light – this is quintessential Provence Rosé from a lovely vintage for this style. The beautiful thing is not only the delicate fruit and refreshing acidity but the weighty, balanced palate. In other words it is deceptively sophisticated wine – for anyone, that is, who is not satisfied with it being merely gorgeous to drink.
Winery notes (2023 Vintage)
"AIX Rosé 2023 mimics its predecessor’s charm. With a profile akin to the 2022 vintage, it unveils light colours and a fresh, aromatic nose. A swirl reveals white stone fruit, citrus and wild berries. What’s more, the 2023 vintage elevates mouthfeel, extending length while maintaining bright freshness and crispness, culminating in a memorable finish for every occasion."
91/100 Wine Enthusiast, July 2024 (2023 Vintage)
"This pale pink wine has lively aromas of white peach, wet stones, blood orange and spring flowers. Fresh flavours of green apple, peach and tangerine combine with great minimality and a pleasant white pepper finish."

5 Stars & 94/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, July 2023 (2022 Vintage)
"Fine and delicate, showing lemon peel, oatmeal and white floral aromas with a hint of sweet strawberry on the nose. The palate is equally elegant with fine flow and vibrant acidity, finishing lingering and mouth-watering. At its best: now to 2025."
4 Stars Cuisine Rosé Tasting, December 2023 (2022 Vintage)
"Pale in the glass with white florals, stonefruit and raspberry aromas on the nose. That palate is subtle but bright with lovely freshness and great texture. The finish is medium length but very satisfying and moreish."
92/100 Cameron Douglas MS, July 2023 (2022 Vintage)
"Bright, fresh, fruity, classic and delicious. A wine that delivers on consistency and quality with aromas and flavours of fresh red cherry and yellow plum, there’s moments of red apple and saffron, orange and rose. A touch of minerality and white spice adds complexity and detail. Well made, just dry and ready to drink from 2023 through end of summer 2025."
90/100 JamesSuckling.com, June 2023 (2022 Vintage)
"A medium-bodied fruity rose, with lots of peach, melon and grapefruit aromas. Round and creamy with a velvety finish. Drink now"
