Bonny Doon - Vin Gris de Cigare Rosé 2020 750ml

Vin Gris is a pink wine made from the lightest pressings of red grapes, typically pale in colour and elegant in fragrance, As to flying Cigares (French slang for UFO's): In 1954 a village in Chateauneuf-du-Pape wisely adopted an ordinance prohibiting the landing of such spacecraft in local vineyards. The regulations have worked exceptionally well in discouraging alien landings. We essay to be equally far-sighted in our winemaking and grape-growing practices seeking the restoration of vital life-forces to our soils, and championing the notion of the farm as an integral entity. Thus, our winemaking practice is exceptionally light-handed, with minimal manipulation and intervention. Enjoy our pink wine of the earth. - Bonny Doon
