This rosé is made from Grenache grapes grown on old vines. These vines are located in the beautiful Pays d'Oc region, enjoying abundant sunshine. The Grenache grapes ripen steadily, and the fresh breeze helps cool the bunches. The climate is perfect, and the nutrient-rich soil structure gives the bunches the strength they need. Once the harvest is ripe, it is brought in overnight and thoroughly inspected upon arrival at Monteclain. Only the finest bunches are used in this rosé. The skins ferment for only a few minutes, developing the beautiful salmon-colored hue.
The bottle alone looks fantastic, but it doesn't stop there. When you open the bottle and carefully pour it into the glass, you'll smell a fantastic bouquet of red fruit, grapefruit, and a hint of fresh lime. In the glass, it turns salmon pink with a reddish sheen; those who didn't know better would think of a Côtes de Provence. It flows beautifully from the glass, offering notes of strawberry, raspberry, grapefruit, and citrus fruit. On the palate, the tongue is pampered by red fruit and fresh grapefruit. As this rosé swirls around the palate, it also reveals nuances of red currants and a touch of grenadine. What a gem, and it's no wonder this rosé is a popular house wine in fine restaurants.
