“Irouleguy is a small wine region in French Basque country on the border of Spain. The area is known for its dense, grippy Tannat-based red blends. The rosés here follow the theme as deeply hued, structured wines with concentrated fruit. This expression is a blend of Tannat and Cabernet Franc sourced from old vines that range from 40 to 70 years old. The result is a robust wine with juicy notes of Concord grapes, pomegranate seeds, cranberries, with a mineral-driven finish. A hearty rosé for cool summer evenings.”
