UP - Ultimate Provence
“Along with a breathtakingly beautiful bottle, this fresh, aromatic rosé, made from Syrah, Cinsault, Grenache Noir, and Rolle, is a superb food-pairing wine. Peachy notes, with a snap of ginger, neroli, and jasmine make a floral and fruity statement. This is one expressive pink! Dry and mineral-driven on the finish with a hint of spice”
Tasting Notes
Hear From Our Winemaker
Color: Star bright in color, vibrant pale pink that has flecks of copper reflections.
Nose: A unique combination of classic Provençal red berries leading to scents of the holidays – pine, cinnamon and gingerbread cookies.
Taste: The spice notes from the Syrah provides a dry, white pepper characteristic across the entire palate. A touch of Rolle gives great acidity and brightness that lends notes of winter citrus, spice with a warming finish.
Terroir
The Ultimate Provence vineyard spans 100 acres around the town of La Garde Freinet, at the northern foot of Notre Dame des Anges chapel. Set in wild countryside and bordered by a vast evergreen oak forest, the vineyard is characterised by shallow soil, laid on a waterproof subsoil sandstone slab. This excellent terroir is nourished with a natural compost of oak leaves and vine stalks. The plots are marked out with grassy areas.
