Tasting notes

A beautiful raspberry color robe. Nose of red fruits (strawberry, red currant), with fragrances of flowers. The palate is well-balanced and fresh, with a nice acidity supported by the flavors of strawberry and guava. This rosé has a beautiful presence, between freshness and aromas. Pair with tuna, grilled fish, sardines, fresh vegetables, bouillabaisse or a strawberry based deserts.

Vineyard

Coteaux d'Aix-en-Provence lies west along the Mediterranean coast from the Côtes de Provence appellation. The sunny, dry Mediterranean climate ensures ripe, fruit-driven wines. The sea breezes moderate the hot, drying influence of the Mistral, which blows from the north; this means that the vines are not stressed, the balance is better and the wine retains freshness and aroma alongside the fruit.

Vinification

The grapes were pressed and fermented in the same way as a white wine (rather than using the 'saignée' method of drawing off part of a red wine early in the fermentation). This minimised the extraction of harsh phenolics, and has led to a more delicate style of rosé with a fine textured finish.

Vintage

Night harvests, cold direct pressing, fermentation at low temperature: 14°C and then 18°C at the end of the fermentation.
