Rosé 2021 AOP Côtes de Provence Origin

Careful selection of the best grapes. Syrah, Cinsault,
Grenache noir, Rolle

A magnificent deep pink.

An intense nose of crunchy stone fruits (apricot, vine peach) underlined by wild mint and spices.

An active, saline and savoury palate with a fresh, slightly minty finish. A cheeky wine with perfect balance.

Great with fusion cuisine. It serves well with chicken skewers marinated in paprika or a Moroccan tagine.

Ideal tasting temperature at 10°C. Tip: Put your rosé in an ice bucket with water and ice cubes rather than in the fridge.

The UP Origin cuvée has its origins in the majestic terroir that gave life to Ultimate Provence. On the outskirts of the 'Massif des Maures', the vineyard is planted on crystalline soils, where particular schists grow. The Rolle and Syrah grape varieties are honoured here, surrounded by the property's youngest Cinsault and Grenache noir varietals. Always picked by moonlight, the grapes are immediately pressed in the cellar, before the juices are separated. The saline minerality is extracted rather well without long maceration. A brief stabling gives way to a filtration of the lees which is reintegrated in fermentation at around 17-18°C. Regular stirring on fine lees for two months sharpens the palate, before the winter dormancy.
