Domaine du Grand Arc, Corbières Rosé, La Tour Fabienne, 2010
35% Grenache, 25% Mourvèdre, 15% of each of Syrah and Carignan and 10% Cinsault. Bruno Schenk at Grand Arc is now making natural wine, that is to say using only wild yeasts and without using any sulphur (widely used in the wine industry to prevent spoliage and as a preservative) at the time of winemaking at all. In part this accounts for the electric hue of this wine.
Vivid (startling!) raspberry colour. Bright flavours of red cherries and redcurrants. Real fat - note the 14° of alcohol - but splendid crispness too. Intensely flavoured. Very correct dry finish, which makes it perfect for food. Grilled or barbecued prawns or strongly flavoured fish or chicken all come to mind.
