Paul Mas, Jardin de Roses, Pays d'Oc, 2019

A lovely aromatic nose, this really does smell like a rose - so delicate and perfumed. There are flavours of soft summer berries on the palate and a generous mouthfeel with definite creaminess, like strawberries and cream. Quite nuanced flavours - strawberry juice, raspberry flesh and some lemon pith but with great depth of intensity on the palate. A balancing acidity completes, it's not so mouthwatering but rather a bit more round and serious. A gourmet wine and perfect pairing with summer salads, fresh fish or creamy risotto.
