Rumor Rosé 2019, Provence, France - 1.5L
Rumor is a rosé well worth talking about. The golden, blush pink shade of the wine will instantly capture the imagination. Popping the cork will reveal a distinctive floral bouquet tempered by a hint of red fruit, while the palate is treated to a dry but tantalising combination of strawberry, pear, green apples, pomegranate, and just a hint of refreshing mint. With a lingering aftertaste that is sure to leave you pining for a refill, Rumor is likely to be a major player in the world of rosé for years to come.

ABOUT THE VINEYARD
Rumor is the passion project of Barry Bayat, an American financial guru and rosé enthusiast that grew weary of what he considered an uninspired and overly cautious approach to wine. Relocating to the Côtes de Provence and searching for a partner in production, Rumor is the result - a wholly vegan and organic rosé that now brings a taste of the Med to over 10 disparate countries.
