Description
Joshua Cooper doesn’t make rosé as an afterthought - this is a serious, structured, and textural wine, inspired by the great age-worthy rosés of Clos Cibonne, Château Simone, and Domaine Tempier. Made from Merlot, Shiraz, Pinot Noir, Malbec, and Cabernet Sauvignon, it’s barrel-fermented in large old French oak and aged on lees for 11 months, bringing depth, complexity, and a savoury edge to what is already a compelling, food-friendly style.
Pale and orange-hued in the glass, it offers aromatics of raspberry, cranberry, green almond, and white pepper, with a subtle stony minerality adding intrigue. The palate is textural and crisp, yet carries a creamy, lees-derived richness that wraps around bright red berry fruit and fine, feathery tannins.
This isn’t your standard summer rosé - it’s built to develop, with time in the cellar only adding to its layers of spice and savoury complexity. If you love Provençal rosé with depth and detail, this is a must-try.

"It’s soft, but not flabby, instead a coolness to its fringes that hold all the bright fruit, creamy, nutty elements, sweet spice and light, herbal elements in. Slips along the palate so gently, yet delivers plenty of character and good intensity for the style. Almost medium weight for pink wines, a good stain on the palate too, a fine, lightly spicy and unctuous finish. Brilliant."
