Pink coral color. Aromas and flavors of cold soak/ cold fermentation, banana esters, raspberry taffy, white strawberry, and dried rose pedals with a velvety, lively, dry light-to-medium body and a tingling, interesting, medium-long finish manifesting notes of raspberry nougat, strawberry tops, dried garden herbs, and petrichor. The red berry essence of the Grenache really pops on the nose and palate with the Syrah and Mourvedre lending structure and herbs making this a more complete wine fit for dinner pairings.

About
Provence Rose
Vin de Pays Rosé are rosé wines that are designated as a Vin de Pays or country wine from one of about 50 different departments (territories) in France. One of the most popular of these is Vin de Pays d'Oc from the Languedoc-Roussilon area in southern France, while Vin de Pays Vignobles de France represents the entire winemaking territories of France.

There are several red varieties that can be used to make a Vin de Pays Rosé, which are produced with minimal skin contact, as with most rosés. These varieties include Grenache, Cinsault, Mourvèdre, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot.

These rosés are light to medium-bodied and generally are dry or off-dry with moderate tannins and an earthy finish. Pair with simple bistro food such as salads or roast chicken.
