A sound introduction to Corsican rosé, this showcases the island’s more rocky and chiselled take on the style (relative to Provence). Tight, tense, saline, with pink grapefruit and watermelon and citrus rind, it’s underpinned with granitic minerals and bone dry.
The international varieties in the blend give a little more generosity around its fine, lean feel – only 12% alcohol. Sophisticated IGP wine.
“Red cherry, fennel, watermelon, almond and some rosehip/floral perfume. It’s red fruited, a little slippery and viscous, but fresh too, a light powdery texture, pink grapefruit, and a subtle sweet/spicy finish of good length. Juicy fun. Serving it cold is not a problem.” 90 points, Gary Walsh, Winefront

About Domaine Fazi Wines
Corsica is a mountainous, French island lying to the Southeast of France in the Mediterranean. Domaine Fazi was established in the early 1970s on the slopes of the east coast of the island where the vines enjoy full sunshine but also the moderating effects of the sea. Utilising mainland French noble varieties as well as those native to the island, parcels are vinified separately before blending.
Felixir is a Melbourne based wine importer, wholesaler and agent. Drawing on 15 years in fine wine retail, founder Felix Riley was convinced of the increasing popularity of dry rosé and established Felixir in 2013 to focus on finding great examples of the style.
Selections are rounded out with interesting, personality driven reds and whites from Southern France and beyond, supported by a clutch of high quality small Australian, Italian, Slovenian and New Zealand producers. A common factor is delicious wines of interest, representing excellent value whatever their price point, reflecting the places and personalities behind them.
