Côtes de Provence Rosé, Héritage, Estandon

Made from the classic Provençal rosé grapes of Cinsault, Grenache and Syrah; which are grown in the foothills of the Massif des Maures on sunny hillside slopes. The harvested grapes are treated to a very short, cool maceration to extract colour from the skins, prior to a controlled, cool fermentation. Pale salmon-pink in appearance with lychee-coloured hues; shows fresh aromas of peach and pear on the soft and well-balanced palate.

The Country

France

Following on from a fantastic vintage the year before, French vineyards endured a mixed bag of weather conditions in the early part of the growing season followed by a long, hot summer which produced some memorable wines, even to rival to the excellence of the previous year.
