Julian Faulkner Sparkling Rose
Market Price
To show you the value you're getting as an Angel...
We regularly benchmark a selection of our wines against up to three comparable wines on the market. The Market Price is based on the price of those wines.
What do we mean by benchmark? We taste them blind against our own wines, or we use our market knowledge (over 40 years between us) to set an industry standard Market Price.
If you buy one of our wines and disagree with the Market Price, or it's not your cup of tea, we'll add a credit to your account. For more info, see our FAQS.

About the wine
Trailblazing sparkling rosé that breaks all the traditional Provence rules
-
Provence superstar Julian Faulkner has turned some of his priceless grapes into a delicious sparkling rosé just for you.
-
Old French rules mean wines like this hardly ever get made. Most winemakers in Provence don’t make sparkling wine, because if you do you can’t use the prestigious Provence nametag. But Julian knows better than to let bureaucracy get in the way of a good wine…
-
Julian’s rare Sparkling Rosé IGP Mediterranée is the perfect marriage of two summer styles. Close your eyes and you’ll think you’re smelling a delicious Provence Rosé full of fresh juicy strawberry aromas. But when you sip, the mouthfeel is of a classy and refined fizz. Soft, smooth and rounded, with all the flavour and crunch of elegant red fruit, notes of peach, then that lift and spritz from the super-fine bubbles. It’s dry, fruity and very sophisticated.

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Julian Faulkner
-
Julian Faulkner is a second generation winemaker and rising superstar in Provence. Over the past few years, he’s caught the eye of the world’s top wine boffs, with glowing reviews from the likes of Jancis Robinson and a double whammy of ‘world’s best rose’ awards from Decanter and the International Wine Challenge. Not a bad track record.
-
It all started when he was a kid, helping out his parents in the vineyard. Julian didn’t know it yet, but the bug had bit him. In 1999, unable to turn a profit, his folks were on the verge of selling up when Julian set aside a promising career in the environmental sector to take over as winemaker, with a vow to turn the family business around. Since then, the estate has gone from strength to strength and Julian runs the operation with a green conscience and a big focus on sustainable techniques.
-
After being let down one too many times by traditional wine corp, Julian reached out to us. Now, he can’t wait to make his standout wines for Angels with the safety and security of being a Naked winemaker, and he’s teaming up with some super-passionate growers to create new and exclusive Provence wines just for you.
