In a 3 litre format, the wine has a bit more time to settle before release, which softens the brighter edges of the rose style and brings everything together in a more even, composed way, without losing the freshness that defines it. The usual red fruit character comes through clearly, with strawberry and raspberry at the centre, supported by a light citrus lift, though here it feels slightly more relaxed, building gradually rather than showing itself all at once, which gives the opening a smoother feel. Across the palate, the wine moves in a steady, continuous way, with the fruit and acidity closely linked, so instead of sharp contrasts, everything feels connected and easy, with the red berry notes carrying through cleanly.
A subtle hint of biscuit and soft almond sits in the background, adding a bit of depth without interrupting the flow, blending into the fruit rather than standing apart from it. The texture is fine and even, with a gentle mousse that spreads smoothly and supports the wine’s lighter style, giving a polished but still approachable feel. Overall, the Jeroboam format rounds the wine slightly, making it feel more balanced and integrated, while keeping the bright, fresh character of the rose intact.
