A harmonious blend of Grenache, known for its luscious red fruit notes, and a touch of Chardonnay, which was fermented on skins in a style reminiscent of the time-honored Provencal method, where the use of Rolle (Vermentino) as a white variety is celebrated. The result is a Rosé that encapsulates the essence of Provence, with delicate floral aromas and a beautifully balanced palate, making it the perfect wine for any occasion. Aromas of watermelon and strawberry salad. The palate is bright, crunchy and lively with a beautiful peach ice tea character.
