Vinification
-
Harvested during the cool temperature of the night, the fruits are destemmed and pressed with minimal exposure to oxygen to preserve freshness and aromas. The grapes are vinified by direct pressing and in the course of this process the wine develops its delicate pink color. After fermentation in stainless steel at a controlled temperature, a light racking is completed to retain only the best lees which are then worked carefully to promote both the aromatic expression and the potential of the wine to last over time.
- Aging: In order to preserve its fruit-filled aromas and freshness, wine is aged in stainless steel vats.

Tasting Notes
-
Pale in color, with soft rose-tinted overtones, Château Peyrassol radiates freshness. It’s subtle nose of citrus, vine peach, apricot and delicate florals is inviting. It has a dense palate, poised and lively, and is notable for its balance, punctuated by a long, fruity finish.
- Serving Suggestions: Pairs well with seafood such as fish soup or grilled sole but will also add a delight to any berry desserts.

Peyrassol Château Peyrassol Rosé, AOP Côtes de Provence – 2020 – Vinous – 92 Points
Light, brilliant orange-pink. Highly perfumed, mineral accented red berry and put fruit aromas are complemented by a floral note that builds in the glass. Juicy and sharply focused on the mouth, offering vibrant strawberry, blood orange and white peach flavors and a suave touch of honeysuckle. Concentrated yet lithe in style, finishing with intense mineral-and floral-driven thrust.
