Description
This lovely small production Rosé was born out of a partnership between Massanois Imports and Domaine Bagrau. The Bagrau family focuses primarily on rosé production, and works diligently on creating the perfect blend each year. When tasting this wine, our entire team was impressed by how much it really overdelivers for the price. Bright acidity, beautiful color, and structure allow this rosé to be enjoyed on its own or be paired easily with food. The 2024 vintage is a blend of 90% Grenache and 10% Syrah. The sustainably farmed grapes are hand-harvested and direct pressed before the must was macerated on its skins for 8 hours. Very little tannin is extracted during a pre-fermentation maceration, as tannins are much more soluble in alcohol. The gentle pressing and relatively short maceration time give this rosé a light pink color while simultaneously extracting a wide range of aroma compounds. Aromas of alpine strawberries, topical fruit, and a bit of lemon pith continue onto the palate. The refreshing acidity and structure from Grenache make for an exquisite rosé that can accompany you on a hot day and also stand up to a cool Autumn evening at dinner.
