The Taste
A masterful blend of Grenache, Cinsault, Syrah, Mourvèdre, and Rolle grapes, RUMOR is an exceptionally drinkable blush pink rosé, suitable for every occasion. The exquisite bottle exudes fruit and sharp citrus aromas, combined with a crisp, dry, and well-rounded finish.
The Story
Barry Bayat had grown tired of the uninspiring rosé options that had seemingly been available for decades. As he hosted his friends and loved ones for weekly gatherings or dined out, he yearned for something new and exceptional – a rosé that would leave an indelible impression and create excitement. Determined to create the perfect blend and product, Barry left behind his finance career and set off to the vineyards of southern France in early 2019.
The Winemaking
RUMOR is the perfect blend of true Provençal grapes. Sourced from a highly-selective group of terroirs in Provence, featuring locations where sun, wind, and elevation provide distinct effects on the wine, the vineyards where our grapes are sourced have rock, clay, and limestone-based soil, creating a dry and rapidly draining environment which allows these grapes to develop maximum phenolic ripeness while maintaining freshness along the coast.
