Winemaker’s Notes

Sourced from limestone-rich soils of the Mediterranean basin, the grapes for this cuvée are harvested during the cool night hours to preserve their freshness. The winemaking process involves careful plot selection, precise grape blending, and bottling in a protected atmosphere to maintain the wine’s aromatic integrity.

The 2024 Romance Rosé presents a star-bright hue, reminiscent of ruby red grapefruit glistening under the sun. On the nose, it offers inviting aromatics dominated by ripe watermelon and sweet cherry blossoms. The palate is refreshing and expressive, capturing the vibrant fruitiness characteristic of the region.

THE TASTING PANEL SCORED THIS 92 POINTS SAYING:
“Fresh, full of energy, and bursting with wild strawberries, red cherries, and watermelon, this blend of Grenache Noir, Cinsault, Syrah, and Merlot is dangerously easy to drink, both on its own and alongside a wide range of dishes, notably seafood and simple pastas.”
