A little-known grape variety, Marselan was created back in 1961 by crossing Cabernet Sauvignon and Grenache Noir.
Shorter skin contact maceration gives Domaine du Tariquet Marselan Rosé 2012 (rrp £9.90) a paler colour, with light and delicate notes of raspberry and redcurrant.
It has been produced in a limited quantity of 30,000 bottles, makes a good summer drinking wine and comes under screwcap.
