Cinsault, Pais. Perfect for summer, this chillable red is both light and incredibly complex. It simultaneously gives fruit and forest floor, with bright, pretty aromas and a deliciously soft structure.

If using fresh or juice substitutes: combine 2 cups Cinsault-style wine (or light-bodied red) and 1 cup Pais-style wine (or youthful Grenache/Carignan) in a bowl or pitcher. If wines are too concentrated or you used juice, add 1/4 cup cool spring water to lighten.

Taste the blend: it should be light-bodied, bright in fruit, with gentle tannin. The goal is a chillable red; keep the base wine cool (refrigerate 30–45 minutes) before finishing.

Lightly crush 6 raspberries and 4 blackberries with the back of a spoon or a muddler in a small bowl to release juices and aromatic oils.

Prepare fruit and aromatics

Add 0.25 tsp dried lavender, 0.25 tsp dried rose petal (if using), 2 whole peppercorns (cracked gently), and 1/2 bay leaf (toast in a dry pan over low heat for 20–30 seconds first) to the crushed berries and gently muddle once to blend flavors. These elements recreate the wine’s bright floral top notes and subtle forest-floor complexity.

Let the mixture steep for 10 minutes at cool room temperature to extract aroma without adding bitterness. Do not over-steep the peppercorns or lavender to avoid harshness.

Strain the maceration through a fine sieve or cheesecloth into the chilled wine blend, pressing gently to yield all aromatic juices. Discard solids.

Stir 1 tablespoon light honey into the wine blend to add a silky mid-palate (optional — omit for a drier profile). Ensure honey dissolves fully; if needed, warm the honey briefly and cool before adding.

Add 1/2 teaspoon white balsamic vinegar to brighten acidity and mimic the wine’s lift. Stir gently and taste: you want bright, pretty aromatics with a soft structure, not overt sweetness or sharp acid.

To serve as a chillable red: place the finished blend in the refrigerator for 20–30 minutes or briefly in an ice bath for 8–10 minutes. Do not freeze; the wine should be cool but not icy.

Serve 4–6 ounces per glass over no ice or one large ice cube if you prefer very cold. Garnish each glass with a strip of lemon peel expressed over the wine to add bright top notes reminiscent of the Rogue Vines aroma.

Optional spritz variation: top each 4–6 oz glass with up to 1/2 cup chilled sparkling water to make a light, refreshing red spritzer. Adjust effervescence to taste.

Enjoy immediately. The assembled drink will maintain its bright complexity for up to 24 hours refrigerated in a sealed container, but aromas are best right after preparation.
