A taste of Provence
Mirabeau is a Provençal Rosé that aims to give you an authentic taste of all things gorgeous and special about this magical part of the world.
Stephen and Jeany Cronk (and their three children) gave up their comfortable existence in southwest London to live their dream of making wine in France.
Stephen quit his corporate job, they sold their house, paid off the mortgage and then headed south.
This first vintage of Mirabeau has been received extremely well by the wine press and is available across the majority of Waitrose stores and on Waitrose Wine Direct.
It has been an amazing journey in many different ways with plenty of hairy moments along the way. And it's only really getting going. Hopefully you'll enjoy seeing the highs and lows of how they made their wine in their video diaries 'The story'.
If you fancy understanding a bit more about wine in a very unstuffy and sometimes irreverent way, you may also enjoy the short videos in 'Understanding wine'.
We hope this website triggers your curiosity about wine in an environment where you can explore and learn at your leisure.
Follow this video journey of the first vintage of Mirabeau and see how the family is settling in to their new life in Provence.
