We now have stock of the 2022 vintage from one of the most popular rosé wines in the country! 2022 was the driest year in France, thankfully the high elevation and sustainable wine-growing practices mitigated much of the impact. The hot conditions led to an earlier harvest where the timing was essential in retaining freshness, and an extra gentle wine-making approach ensured the classic bright red fruit characteristics AIX is renowned for.

A bright, joyous, pale pink colour in the glass. A swirl lifts the intense nose of fresh peach juice, raspberries, and white floral blossom to the fore. Fresh stone fruit, raspberries, and the classic cranberry tang lead the palate and balance the fine acid tension. The AIX Rosé 2022 finishes with a refreshingly long, dry, and balanced mineral line. A wine that exceeded expectations!
