It's for a good many reasons that Provençal rosé now serves (and is served) as the natural pink option to be enjoyed whenever the sun comes out. Or whenever it doesn't come out. Typically a luminous, pale salmon hue, with aromas of delicate red fruit and white pepper and a chiselled, mineral elegance that is brisk on the palate, there is nothing so perfect as a rosé from the south of France. Made predominantly of Grenache, Syrah, Carignan and Cinsault, Provençal rosé lets you taste the more ethereal side of thoese blockbuster, red southern Rhône varietals.

Provence Rosé Wine - Experience the Sheer Elegance
Côtes de Provence Rosé is the largest appellation in the Provence region of southeast France. Bordering the Mediterranean Sea, the blended ingredients of Provence Rosé experience a slowed ripening process and benefit from more complex, enhanced flavour and a lighter-bodied structure.
Provence is known for the natural beauty of its mountainous lavender fields and sun-drenched olive groves. The enchanting appeal of the region is reflected in the sparkling salmon hue of its Rosé. Its refreshingly fruity makeup of multiple varieties of berries reflects the lightly delicate feel of the area.
