Grenache Gris, Grenach Noir, Syrah & Mourvèdre, Languedoc-Roussillon, France 

We have hidden this in the GW cellar for over a year and we’re finally ready to let it free. Here lies the final bottles of an unforgettably concentrated rosé, from South of France legend in life and death, Alain Castex. Alain was known as father of the south in natural winemaking circles, with many of our favourite southern producers having either worked for, or taken some sort of inspiration from him in practice or production. From the mediterranean countryside around Perpignan, his legacy of evocative, nuanced cuvées is safe and sound with this last iteration of ‘Canta Mañana’. A blend of blossomy, lingering grenache gris macerated for two days, herbed n’ meaty mourvèdre, sumptuously spiced carignan and BERRIED grenache noir, made in the saignée method, meaning layering or ‘bleeding’ of the red grape juice into the white, creating this pomelo hued rosé. Candied flowers, perfectly overripe strawberries, picking kumquats, laborious saltiness, nut paste, herbaceous bitterness that reigns the fruit into a fully fleshed out entity & the densest texture we’ve ever experienced. Age for a few more years, or open in front of the secret Castex shrine you’ve never told anyone about.
