Light pink in colour, this Rhone Rose opens with ripe red berry and cherry aromas on the nose. The palate is crisp with flavours of citrus and light melon. This wine is well structured and finishes cleanly.
60% Grenache, 40% Cinsault.
From the Winery
This wine comes from a selection of vineyards from across the southern Rhône Valley, running from Montélimar to Nîmes.
The Grenache and Cinsault vines are planted on dry, generally stony, terrain and produce a yield of 46 hl/ha.
The grapes are pressed immediately upon arrival in the winery, and a lightly tinted juice is then vinified like a white wine, at the same temperature (16-18°C). Malolactic fermentation is prevented in order to preserve the fresh, crisp character of this rosé. Ageing takes place in vat and the wine is bottled before spring.
