Staff Pick Notes

There's something uniquely distinct about this southern French "gris de gris" rosé from Domaine de Fontsainte that sets it apart from the sea of pink wine that flows from this part of the world -- the best way that I can describe it is that it's remarkably juicy!...How do they do that ? Gris de Gris is a French term for rosé made from red grapes that is delicately pressed immediately after harvest with no maceration "on the skins" - yielding a very light rose' that shows almost white in the glass. Grenache Gris, is a pale, pink skinned grape and is blended with Mourvedre and Cinsault. It's a fuller bodied rosé that is silky on the palate, and somehow seems to pack more juice!

Mourvèdre

Known as Mataro in California and Monastrell in Spain, Mourvèdre can produce bold, tannic, highly alcoholic red wines.

Rhône-style blends are cropping up all over the world, and one of the classic tried-and-true combinations is "GSM," or Grenache-Syrah-Mourvèdre. The "M" contributes focus and fleshy character to blends - but Mourvèdre also shines on its own as a varietal wine.
