Details
A unique blend of Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Tannat, this rosé pretty much exemplifies the seer range of grape varieties available in this fort of the world! It's also fabulously delicious, with soft white peachy fruit, green strawberry and cranberry character from top to bottom. Easy-drinking, but with a slightly more serious side to it.

'Matagot' is a brand new range and a Good Pair Days exclusive that we are so excited to bring to you! This fabulous, hand-selected set of wines hail from different parts of southern France; from Gascony for the white and rosé, to the Rhône valley for the red. within these regions, there is so much quality and choice on offer. Matagot or the 'Money Cat', legend has it, is a creature that is said to have been in the service of a sorcerer or witch, bringing wealth to its master or mistress so long as it was well looked after. And trust us, these wines have been well looked after! Store this wine well, drink it with a good meal and we promise it'll look after you! Other legends lean toward the Matagot being a fairy-like creature that brought good luck. Whatever you choose to believe, this range of wines is delicious and displays outstanding freshness and typicity of both region and grape variety.

Pairing guide
This elegant and beautifully refreshing rosé wine from Matagot is a real treat for the senses, packing in an array of soft fruit flavours alongside a pitch-perfect balance and brightness and acidity. It’s going to pair especially well with fresh tomato dishes, anything featuring poached or hot-smoked salmon, grilled pork sausages and pork chops with chermoula, and particularly with stuffed chicken breast or turkey salads. Salty ingredients like capers, green olives and anchovies will work brilliantly with this wine, and it’s also great with a chicken tagine served with jewelled couscous - wonderful!
