From the bottle:

Since 1967, La Vieille Ferme has been producing authentic and delicious wines vintage after vintage, and has been acknowledged as one of the very best value wines in the world. The vines selected are grown high on the slopes , which gives this wine unique freshness and elegance. Pale pink in color, with soft undertones. Fresh and very aromatic nose, this wine has a delicate bouquet with notes of red fruit, flowers, and citrus fruit. Nice balance between sweetness and acidity in the mouth. The finish shows fresh fruit, and great length.

13% Alcohol

Today we’re reviewing the sister wine to the La Ferme Julien Rosé, the Trader Joe’s exclusive version with the goat on the label.

The 2019 La Vieille Ferme Rosé begins with an inviting aroma of strawberry, melon and just a hint of tomato plant. Tasting the well-structured wine reveals red berry and cherry fruits with a pleasing tartness. Just lightly sweet and with good acidity, this is a well done, all-around rosé for sipping on its own or pairing with food. It makes a great pick to buy by the box. The wine ends with a bit of salty minerality and lingering tart fruit on the dry, long finish.

This is consistently solid stuff and whether you choose this one or the Trader Joe’s version, you really can’t go wrong.
