Wines
Golden Year Rosé is a Pays d'Oc wine made from Grenache and Syrah. The Grenache skins receive approximately 12 hours of skin contact during fermentation. Its berry-led, very fresh profile carries strawberry, rhubarb, watermelon and citrus. It is served at 8 to 10°C, either by itself or with fish, seafood and salads.
Luceviva Orange 2024 has a nuanced, fruity profile with subtle astringency. Red apple, orange, marzipan, apricot, bay leaf and spice shape its tasting detail.
Other red wines in the range include Jean Vidérue Côtes du Rhône, Leif Mannerström Côtes du Rhône, Finca Almendral Reserva and Finca Almendral Gran Reserva. White-wine names include Leif Mannerström Sauvignon Blanc, Lepont & Fils Bourgogne Chardonnay, Lepont & Fils Petit Chablis, Hippie Cat and Vieira Atlantica Albariño.
