Grape: Gamay, Grolleau Gris
Where: Loire, France
Booze: 12%
Foods: strawberries and cream
Story: Biodynamic and minimal intervention
Agnes and Rene Mosse have been working 13ha of vines in Anjou under biodynamic principles since 1999.
This is a ‘petillant naturel’ - lightly sparkling, unfined and unfiltered – nothing added nothing taken away. A pale pink in the glass, with fine light bubbles, there’s sweet strawberry and raspberry notes from the Gamay, and a rhubarb twist from the Grolleau. A lick of acidity is cleans the finish, and makes this one for drinking, not sipping.
Perfect summer sparkling, crack out the strawberries and cream as you watch Wimbledon.
Available from D Vine Wine for a steal at £12.50

High quality wine, plus berries? I'm always in the mood for that! Thank you for this. By the way, your blog title is perfect. For me, drinking wine is like celebrating a good state of your life. "Food, wine and a better life..."
