Winemaking notes
It is often said that there are more people who have travelled to space than there are Masters of Wine, and while that may be very true, there are many more MW's than there are cosmic cats! In a unique surge of innovation, 1963 witnessed France entering the feline space race via a cat named Felicette. Now immortalised on a wine that pays homage to those that think outside the box, Felicette is for all those who dream to be a little different!
Viticultural notes
100% Languedoc Grenache. The wine benefits from a period of skin contact and maceration. Pressing of the grapes is carried out in a pneumatic press with separation of free-run juice from pressed must. Cold static must settling then a settling on the fine lees with stirring to highlight the richness of the wine. The wines are then racked off the lees to prevent malolactic fermentation.
Tasting notes
Felicette Grenache Rose wine is an elegant supple, succulent and aromatic rose. A pale salmon pink wine, refreshing and fruity, with delicate red fruits such as strawberry and raspberry.
Pairing notes
Enjoy with salads, shellfish, grilled fish and white meats in creamy sauce.
