Detailní popis produktu

Grapes

Cinsault Grenache

Tasting

This is about as provençal as you can get in terms of rosés! A dry and subtle wine with a pleasant nose and a crisp and elegant flavour of strawberries and ripe yellow peaches. It  ends characteristically with a refreshing acidity.

A rosé for all seasons! In summer drink it colls but not too cold with grilled fish ,salads, goat cheeses and  lemon pies or summer puddings...In winter you will love drinking it with mediterranean food from pasta to pizzas...

Try it with chinese or japanese food... and with curry, if not too hot!

Winemaking

Picked early in the day at an outside temperature not exceeding 50°F the grapes are then transferred to our cellar and they macerate in our pneumatic press for 6 to eight hours (pellicular maceration) at the same temperature before being lodged in decanting vats in which the temperature does not exceed 63°F.

This cold fermentation process enables us to offer you very aromatic rosés in spite of a relatively high alcoholic content.

This well balanced and aromatic blend of cinsaut and grenache is typical of true Provence dry rosés.

It is regularlly reviewed in the Hachette Guide ( 2 stars in 2006 a 2007 and 2012) and has also been favourably quoted by the Guide Hubert since 2004.

Other publications such as the Revue des Vins de France and Millésimes, have also written about it with some praise.

The 2006 vintage was singled out by a gold medal in the Macon wine competition and , more recently, the french magazine Le Point has rated it the best rosé in its area.
In 2011 our 2010 vintage obtrained a silver medal in the Macon wine competition as well as two stars in the 2012 Hachette Guide.
