Overseen by the Matton-Farnet family, for four decades who pioneered the global \u2018Provence Ros\u00e9\u2019 style, the slender signature bottle has revealed its limited edition look by Lucia Vinti. Paying tribute to the Mediterranean art of living, it\u2019s made from aromatic grenache, fresh cinsault and syrah for added complexity. The pearly pink cuv\u00e9e will pair beautifully with summer salads and seafood.

Based on Turra Lodge Farm, founder Alex Kelly turned to gardening, and, eventually, aromatherapy as a form of healing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">The brand, she explains, is born from the realisation that not only can we benefit from nature but we can simultaneously benefit nature itself. The brand sells aromatherapy tealights, topped with dried flowers from the farm itself, alongside 100% natural soy candles, essential oil blends and fragrance sprays.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/5089125_2_articleinlinemobile_Tastings.jpg\" alt=\"Skellig's chocolate factory in Co.

Along with great flavour and a protein boost, its collagen component supports healthy skin, hair and joints.
