MOULIN DE GASSAC ROSE 2013

LANGUEDOC, FRANCE



By:  Ed "The Wine Guy" 


Over the last few years, imports of French Rose wines to the United States have increased by 40%. This wine is the new release of our largest selling Rose of 2013, with which many of you are already familiar. A blend of mainly Grenache and Syrah, it is very dry (not sweet), light, crisp, and easy-to-drink, with aromas and flavors of strawberries and citrus, and with mineral notes. It is very food-friendly; I suggest pairing it with tossed salads, potato salad, and just about any of your favorite summer dishes. Harney's has an ample supply of Moulin de Gassac to carry us through the entire summer season and beyond.
