ROSÉ
35 Cotes de Provence 2006 £5.00 £3.75
Chateau de Roquefort (France)
A famous area for Rosé which very often produces
mediocre wine. However, by favouring

produces hedonistic wine.
This Rosé is simply heartwarmingly beautiful.

extra richness to the wine, with a full, soothing,
velvety finish.

to come out of Australia.
