Domaine du Cabanon 2022 Canta Mañana

Alain Castex is widely considered the uncompromising and meticulous 'Godfather' of natural winemaking in French Catalunya, having mentored so many now terrific vignerons in his time.
The vineyard is a single-hectare plain in Trouillas, south of Perpignan, on a terroir rich in clay and sand. The very old vines give limited yields, requiring a lot of work by hand. This natural rosé is a blend of Grenache gris, Grenache noir, Syrah, and Mourvèdre. The wine is not filtered or fined, and no sulphur is added. The nose of this cuvée explodes with aromas of grapefruit and flowers. It is fresh and tonic on the palate. Overall, a pleasant and easy-drinking wine.
