This rich and cerebral rosé of Merlot is a wine that creeps up on you like a cat waiting to pounce, a measured crescendo of flavour & texture that demands to be enjoyed with the longest, most luxurious dinners, evenings, and conversations.

Little Monster’s delicate nose of cherry blossom gives way to a placid, almost calming minerality, like the olfactory equivalent of a much-needed spa day. The wine’s hefty palate drinks like the best surprise— the rare surprise party you didn’t know you needed— backed up by an alternately ripe and savoury symphony of flavours: candied strawberry, creamy white peach, Herbes de Provence.

The only thing this wine loves more than food is air: don’t be shy about decanting! Then pair with pesto, crostini and the wildest goat’s cheese you can handle.

THE STORY BEHIND THE WINE

LITTLE MONSTER - VOL IV

The key to being a ghost is to stay very still. I’ve almost perfected it. To scare someone so perfectly is what I live for. Papa is often too easy, but he’ll make for good practice.

I wait patiently and barely move. Even when he calls my name. The sweet sound of my treats shaking is tempting, but a professional must exercise restraint.

The perfect moment is only there for a few seconds. If you miss it, you are forced to wait till the next day. Finally it arrives. Papa is on one leg putting his pants on, I am swift and my timing is perfect.

As he cringes in pain and laughs at the same time, I stand over him quietly. I am Monster… the perfect ghost.
