Red · Full · Dry

Provence's most serious red — Mourvèdre-dominated, structured, savory, with notes of black olive, leather, and Mediterranean herb. The age-worthy alternative to a southern Rhône.

Rosé · Light · Dry

Bandol's serious rosé — Mourvèdre-led, fuller-bodied and more savory than Provence pink, with the structure to handle full meals. Rosé that thinks it's a red.
