--------THE PRODUCER--------

Les Embruns

At the western edge of Provence is the estuary of Rhone River, the Camargue. The soils here are sandy and barely above sea level. Organically farmed, Les Embruns roses have the palest gris colour, ripe red fruits and very suave finish.

 

--------THE GRAPE--------

Rhone Rosé Blend

The Rhone Red Blend is often known as the GSM blend whereby the three main grapes are Grenache, Syrah and Mouvedre. In actuality there can be up to 13 grapes made into this blend, by law, in the southern Rhone Valley. You can have lighter and more floral versions of the Rhone Red Blend or have bolder and oakier versions depending where in the world it is made. They are most popular in France, California and Australia.
