Vallee Des Pins
Coteaux d’Aix en Provence Rosé AOP
Wine Type: Rosé
Country: France
Region: Provence
Grapes: Grenache Noir, Syrah, Cinsault and Cabernet Sauvignon
Winemaking: Direct pressing at low pressure. Stabulation on bourbes for 5 to 7 days. Cold static settling (48 hours). Alcoholic fermentation in stainless steel tanks with temperature control. Aged 3 months in stainless steel vats. Batonnage on fine lees to accentuate sensation of fat in the mouth.
Tasting Notes: This is a pale rosé by design. In the nose, red fruits like raspberries and strawberries come out with more exotic fruits like guava in the background. In the mouth the palate is fresh and clean, emphasizing ripe strawberries and perfectly balanced acidity.
Food Pairings: This wine will work perfectly with Mediterranean cuisine such as eggplant gratin, mussels in cream sauce or barbecued meat.
International Wine Report: “The 2023 Vallee des Pins Rose begins with inviting aromas of raspberries, melon, citrus zest, wild herbs and crushed flowers. On the palate this possesses a lovely texture mouthfeel and is well-balanced while remaining fresh throughout the finish.”
