Glass with glamour today for my Fifth Pink of Christmas. Another wine currently on offer and a very stylish bottle for parties and gatherings. Inside you’ll find a burst of berry fruit and a twist of pepper on the finish- unmistakably Syrah. I award it 17.5 points.

About this Vineyard

Ultimate Provence – or UP, as the cool kids call it – is a strikingly contemporary wine estate near Saint-Tropez, part of the MDCV group founded by British billionaire Mark Dixon, who fell in love with Provence after acquiring Chateau de Berne. Opened with interiors by Monegasque architects Humbert and Poyet, the estate covers 46 hectares of certified organic AOP Cotes de Provence vines in the heart of the Plaine des Maures, with winemaking overseen by Alexis Cornu.
