Clos Cibonne Tentations Rosé Côtes de Provence

A certified organic rosé from Clos Cibonne, made under the Côtes-de-Provence AOP. The blend is 50% Grenache, 20% Cinsault, 15% Syrah and 15% Tibouren, from grapes bought around the estate on clay-marl soils at La Crau and Carqueiranne. The grapes are picked by hand and pressed directly in stainless steel. Fermentation is at low temperature, followed by 8 to 10 weeks on fine lees to preserve the aromatics. The colour is a very pale pink with copper glints. The nose offers vineyard peach, pink grapefruit, yellow fruit and soft spice, with citrus and a floral touch. On the palate, saline freshness meets a supple, elegant texture, and the finish is saline and moreish. It suits serving at 8 to 10°C.
