There’s no doubt that the Mediterranean leaves its mark on this Rosé de Léoube. Seductively light, it presents fruity, floral notes with a hint of spice and a lingering freshness on the palate. An accomplished, elegant rosé!
More infoThe Léoube rosé is a blend of Grenache and Cinsault complemented by touch of Syrah and Mourvèdre grapes which are grown on a mixture of schist and clay soils. The vineyard’s close proximity to the sea and the cooler nights provide the ideal climate for viticulture. Once in the winery, the fruit is manually sorted according to parcel and gently pressed to achieve as much colour as possible in the juice. The resulting wine retains real freshness thanks to controlled temperatures during the alcoholic and malolactic fermentations. The latter process gives a pleasing unctuous quality to the wine, producing its fruity, delicately spiced notes. Persistent in the mouth with great drinkability, this is an accomplished rosé with fantastic food pairing versatility.
