This is an impressive Rhône style rosé from Alkimi. It’s made using the saignée method, and is rather humbly described by its winemaker Stuart Dudine as a wine created by necessity. I would say necessity has been kind then, because I think this is a very good rosé. From grenache, syrah and roussanne, but mostly grenache, it has aromatics of strawberry and nectarines. The palate has a viscous texture and a lovely balance to it. This is easy to recommend.
