Why You'll Love It
A particular Vino Gusto favourite when the sun comes out. This is dry, delicate and packed with fresh peach, redcurrant and cherry, with mouth-watering acidity that makes it a serious pleasure at the table. All the elegance you want from Mediterranean rosé, without the Provence premium.
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
The 2025 Res Fortes rosé is 50% Grenache Noir, 30% Syrah and 20% Grenache Gris, grown in the foothills of the Pyrenees in the Roussillon. The producer confirms that whole bunches are pressed for a delicately coloured, dry style, preserving fresh berry fruit and crisp acidity. The existing 13.5% ABV has been retained pending verification against the 2025 bottle label.
