Is the wine pink or red? It’s certainly made like a red, smells like a white, tastes like a rosé, and looks like an orange wine.  All this because a few years back a farmer approached René Barbier about a small parcel of old vine cartoixà vermell, the rare red xarel-lo grape. Enough intrigue to lure René into making this enigma of a wine with its coppery-pink hue.  Screams for fried food.
