MORNING BRIDE ROSE

Made using grapes from our organically certified vineyard. The Spring Seed Wine labels are unashamedly inspired by vintage flower seed packets created at the turn of the last century. The colour, clarity and beauty of the original seed packets are quite remarkable.

Our intention is to make a pale pink dry Rosé reminiscent of the Mourvèdre-based wines from the South of France. Those wines make you think of long lunches sitting on La Canebiere in Marseilles watching the world and his wife go by. I think we have more than achieved our homage to ‘France du Sud’  and in doing so created something uniquely our own –we use Shiraz rather than Mourvèdre. You can smell fresh strawberries, watermelon rind and a hint of ginger on the nose, and fresh red fruits on the palate. Serve chilled as an aperitif or with a variety of foods such as cheese, a crab salad or the traditional caramelised onion tart from the south of France, pissaladière.
