Agent Provocateur
Grenache Frontignac Malbec Viognier 2023
55% Grenache | 21% Frontignac | 18% Malbec | 6% Viognier
An ‘agent provocateur’ provokes others into illegal acts! A fitting name for this intriguing rule breaker that defies all winemaking conventions. Not a red wine, nor a white, nor a rosé. Its appearance suggests a light red, yet it is jam packed with aromatic white fruits, along with lashings of plumpy raspberry Grenache. Chill it down for refreshment or drink at room temperature – there are no rules here.

Winemaker's Notes
Primary colours are blended to make an array of many other colours. When we lay out the parts of Agent Provocateur the strong character of each base wine is like a primary colour – there’s something very special about the various shades of flavour that come to light when we blend these parts.

Bouquet & Palate
An overt provocateur smoulders out of the glass – great wafts of steamy raspberry and blackberry. A fog of florals, bay, and pomegranate. Hickory barbecue, clove, and bathsalt bubblegum. For all the glass-side plume the palate is feather-light. Bright, beautiful, and ever-elegant.
