After the roaring success of his rule-breaking La Orphica red and white wines, David’s been inspired to complete the set with an elegant, pale pink rosé the likes of which you’ll rarely find in Spain.

David knows how much untapped potential there is in Spain, so he made up his own rules to create this wine… “I wanted to give you the experience with a rosé wine that may be different than what you are used to having from Spain - traditional Spanish rosés tend to be darker coloured. I break this preconceived idea and I want to give people with my rosé wine blend of Garnacha and Bobal a very high-quality Spanish experience. One that combines and enhances the quality and impact of Spanish rosé varietals in an elegant, refreshing blend.”

After Julian’s debut Rosé was our fastest-selling pre-order of all time - disappearing in less than 48 hours - we were waiting on tenterhooks for this encore. And boy was it worth the wait.

Julian makes his kit in the true heartland of Provence - the gold standard when it comes to elegant Rosé. It's a sought-after, premium style that normally sells for £17.99 on the market. This is how Julian describes it… “The nose is complex and intense with aromas of powdered rose, melon and white peach, strawberry and cherry, with a tiny hint of spice. In the mouth it is full, the fruit persistent and crunchy with a nice touch of salinity. It is a beautiful expression, with a finish that is salivating.” 

Because Julian loves doing his bit for the planet, he suggested we make this wine without a capsule (that’s the plastic-covered aluminium wrap at the top of the bottle, that covers the cork). While capsules are useful for wines that need to be aged, for those best drunk fresh and young like Rosé, they’re purely cosmetic packaging that create waste. Julian says there’s a bit of a buzz starting up around ‘no capsule’ bottles, as the wine industry looks to become more sustainable. So we gave him the thumbs up to go topless on this Rosé.
