Oppidum Rosé

Terroir: Clay and sandy soil. Vine about ten years old, trained in double Royat cordon, and located on the northern slope of the Petit Luberon. Controlled permanent grassing. Area surrounded by hedgerows that are both biological reservoirs, but also a natural protection against climatic hazards.

Winemaking: Night harvest, direct pressing for the Grenache Noir, and bleeding for the Syrah. Static settling for 48 hours, then fermentation at 13°C in thermo-regulated stainless-steel tanks to preserve the freshness of the aromas. During the fermentation, 5% of the volume goes into new barrels to bring complexity and aromas. At the end of the alcoholic fermentations, we carry out a racking of cleanliness in order to preserve the fine lees and to eliminate the most coarse. Work on the fine lees for 5 months.

Tasting: This 2023 Oppidum rosé have very pleasant red fruit aroma. This wine tastes delicate and fresh, full of aroma of citrus, rich in fruit and very mineral. This rosé is very floral.

Serving suggestion: Serve at 10°C. Bottled in spring, it will reveal its full balance in the heart of summer, its favorite season. It pairs with cooked vegetables, savoury pies and grilled meats.
