L'Enclos des Roses Rouge

The young winemaker Aurelie Balaran is a descendant of an old winemaking family. She owns one of the best vineyards in Gaillac, with vines that are more than fifty years old. She has pressed her red pride from the forgotten French grape varieties Duras, Braucol and Prunelard.

Her rouge smells of ripe forest fruit and has a spiciness that is reminiscent of fresh laurel. It is generous, quite full, intensely fruity and has a soft mouthfeel. We taste thick juice of ripe blackberries, cherries and elderberries. Typically southern French, but still difficult to identify if you are not familiar with forgotten grapes.
