Why You'll Love It
A rosé with a little extra substance. Ripe red berries and orchard fruit gain savoury texture from measured oak influence, while fresh acidity keeps it lively. Particularly good with barbecue chicken, grilled fish or a well-filled summer table.
About The Producer
Res Fortes is the Roussillon project of winemaker Moritz Bak, whose fascination with wine began during childhood summers in southern France. After studying at Plumpton College, he worked harvests across Europe, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand and the United States, before making his first Res Fortes vintage in 2014. In 2018 he purchased an organically farmed 14-hectare estate near Maury in the foothills of the Pyrenees. Here, old bush vines cling to steep, schist-rich hillsides, where strong Mediterranean sunshine is balanced by altitude, wind and cooler nights. Moritz brings an international outlook to these traditional vineyards, favouring expressive fruit and freshness over excessive extraction. The range spans lively rosé and Merlot, a classic Grenache-Mourvèdre-Syrah blend and the remarkable Brave, sourced from 120-year-old Grenache vines on a steep north-facing slope. Res Fortes makes a compelling case for Roussillon as one of France's most exciting regions.
Winemaking Information
Made from Grenache Noir, Syrah and Grenache Gris grown in the foothills of the Pyrenees on Roussillon's mineral-rich schist soils. The wine is produced as a dry, fruit-driven rosé with some oak influence adding a rounder, more savoury texture. The precise 2024 oak-vessel size, time in wood and percentage aged in oak were not confirmed in a producer technical sheet.
