International Rosé Day: Toasting Rosé's Provençal Roots
Share
Imagine this: A tranquil beach haven with soft white sand, the warm summer breeze, and a glass of radiant rosé in hand. Isn't this the perfect setting to celebrate the beauty of this blush pink drink? As we toast today, let each sip take you back through the ancient tale of rosé wine, its roots deeply embedded in the soils of Provence in southern France.
Provence Rosés
"Pastel pink hue with soft, rosewood tints. The wine displays a fresh nose redolent of red berries, citrus fruits and white blossom. It is luscious and fruity on the palate with a smooth and silky mouthfeel. Fresh notes of citrus zest accompany the persistent finish."
Domaines Ott* Clos Mireille Rosé Coeur de Grain
"Lovely sandy yellow hue with copper tints. The expressive and absolutely delicious nose exudes aromas of peach, exotic fruit, redcurrant and cardamom. The wine is intense and concentrated on entry to the palate. The smooth and full-bodied mid-palate is perfectly balanced by a pleasant acidity with notes of lemon rind. The finish is fresh, mouthwatering and slightly spicy."
