Blend: Grenache 50% - Cinsault 50%
Winemaker: Claude Serra

Vinification
Thinning out of the leaves during maturation of the grapes on the vine.
This rosé is obtained by “saignée” after a maceration of 8 to 12 hours. Sedimentation and fermentation at low temperature. At the end of the alcoholic fermentation, the wine is racked off and goes through a light filtration prior to bottling.
Tasting notes
Pale colour with rubis tints. Elegant nose of wild red berries complemented by notes of Mediterranean flowers. Round and soft on the palate this wine has a perfect balance between the rich aromas of fruits and a fresh acidity which gives a long lasting finish.
Food pairing
Drink cold in order for the wine to express its fruity flavours. Ideal as an aperitif but equally good with nibbles, grilled chicken, salmon and salads.
