'Piak! Rose'

Cabernet Franc, Pineau d’Aunis & Chenin Blanc, Loire, France

A rare and lucky love triangle, as could only be concocted in the Loire valley’s Saumur region. From winemakers Emeline Calvez and Sebastien Bobinet we are gifted this organic and youthful Cab Franc, Pineau d’Aunis & Chenin blend. A mix of direct pressing and maceration concocts a vibrant, greedy nose and striking colour – imagine if Pantone had a colour called ‘blushing candy lobster’. The ‘Piak! rosé’ is serving salted raspberry sorbet, crunchy Fuji apple skins, grapefruit mint leaves, cherry taffy pull & watermelon juice squeezed on acacia wood. ‘Piak! rosé’ is ready and waiting to run with you through the brambly forest bushes and cannonball naked into a bottomless country pond. Cheers to you both.
