Cinsault Rosé

Winery: L'Agnostique
Region: Southern and Central France
Locale: Languedoc
Appellation:  Vin de Pays d'Oc
Designation: IGP

In a few words: Charmingly fresh and well-balanced.

Site: From Southern France, in the vineyards of the sunny Languedoc-Roussilon region, where the vines date back to Roman times. 

Grapes: 100% Cinsault

Fermentation and Aging: Direct press rosé. Harvest at full maturity, half a day on the skins to extract just the right amount of color. Temperature controlled fermentation, followed by elevage in vat on the fine lees. 

Notes: For a rosé that is not from Provence, this wine shows perfect Provençal onion-skin color. The aromatics are fresh and vibrant with beautiful notes of wild strawberry, and on the palate the wine shows surprising weight and finish, along with zesty acidity. Try it with charcuterie, with fish especially fried or grilled, or with shrimp. Grilled or roasted pork. Have it with salad, with starters, or as an aperitif. This delicious wine is a perfect “crossover” for dishes that lean in between - not quite right for red or white. Roast turkey or pizza.
