Winemaker,Jean-Marie, makes this wine for “those who don’t have a pool” as a substitute refreshment; the label with a “Suntanned Little Pig” is his very own drawing.
Grapes, harvested at peak ripeness, are immediately destemmed and gently crushed. The juice undergoes fermentation with neutral yeast at a controlled temperature. After 36 hours, the skins are removed, imparting the rosé with its vibrant pink hue. The wine matures in stainless steel tanks housed in a partially buried cellar, ensuring natural temperature regulation. Prior to bottling on-site, the wine undergoes light filtering, fining, and a minimal sulfur addition.
Tasting Note: This vibrant pink rosé exudes deep aromas of ultra-ripe crushed red cherries, hints of guava paste, overripe fig, and a subtle smokiness of sweet herbs. The palate offers flavors of blood orange and red berries.
Pairing: Enjoy this versatile rosé on its own or with a variety of summer dishes, including spicy couscous, lamb tagine, flame-grilled chicken, spicy lamb or beef kebabs, and sweet barbecued pork dishes.
Sip on this! It's good for you because...
