Winemaking notes
The harvest starts in the early morning to preserve primary aromas
and the grapes were destemmed and crushed. Following a direct
press (no skin maceration), the juice is fermented at low temperature
15-16°C(59/61°F), again to favour freshness and aromatics.
Each variety is vinified separately and blended in December with
bottling taking place end of January. Vegan friendly.
Viticultural notes
This Côtes du Rhône rosé is a blend of black Grenache and
Syrah. The grapes are sourced from clay and particularly limestone
vineyards in the Vaucluse and Gard regions of the Valley.
Tasting notes
This fresh, well-balanced wine offers floral notes on the nose with
grenadine and red cherry. Lively mouthfeel, both fresh and ample
with a rich, spicy finish.
Pairing notes
Best served between 10° and 12° C (60° to 65°F) on its own or
with fish in sauce, melon, Mediterranean cuisine such as paella, cod
brandade, barbecue and summer lunch. Perfect as well with most
Asian dishes.
