Peyrassol
Château Rosé
This rosé blend of 45% Cinsault, 25% Grenache, 12% Ugni Blanc, 10% Syrah, 8% Rolle offers the purest expression of Provencial terroir. Grapes are vinified utilizing the direct press method with minimal exposure to oxygen to preserve freshness and aromas. 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.
Chateau Peyrassol is the heart of the estates range. It is made from selected parcels of mainly old vines around the Estate and is very representative of the estates style in it’s commitment to excellence. It is characterized by its complexity and balance. We have made the choice to be organic, in coherence with the range of our wines of the estate. A demanding and uncompromising sourcing brings us today to offer you the best of Provence.

Very pale, lychee pink in color. The nose is fine and elegant. Complex, releasing white fleshed fruit and citrus fruits aromas, along with white floral notes. The palate is straightforward and clean. Fine and silky, it is soft, delicate and lively. The freshness of the finish is balanced with a subtle hint of saltiness.

"Extremely pale in hue, with notes of rose water, creamed peach and melon that turn creamy and rich on the palate. A saline mineral streak adds depth and focus through the refined finish, which is marked by heather, lemon verbena and dried green herb details."
