2021 Domaine L’Alezan ‘Méandres’, Rosé Pet Nat of Syrah + Cinsault | Ardèche, France

Varietal(s): Syrah + Cinsault Vineyard Management: Practicing Organic Winemaking: Spontaneous Fermentation, Unfiltered/Unfined, no Sulfur additions Vegan: Yes Typicity: There are no wild flavors, however I've never tasted anything quite like this. So I would say this wine is atypical because of style-not fermentation practices.  Tasting Notes:  This wine transforms within a few hours of opening it, allow yourself a little time to let it fully evolve. At first, color is a pale pink with almost an orange tint. Membrillo paste and wet crushed pink granite is what I immediately thought of at first sip. Then I waited a bit, and as the bottle warmed up on my kitchen counter, my second glass was filled with salted watermelon and cocoa nib. Cherry cola is a common note for this wine, but for me, I felt like there is something sanguine on the back end that makes me hesitate. Truly unique.  Bio: Patricia and Rémi Bonneton began in the early 2000's, offering plowing services to other vignerons in
