93 POINTS & 5 STARS - Sam Kim Wine Orbit
Appearance: This IGP Rosé presents a captivating pale salmon hue, with brilliant
clarity and a delicate shimmer that reflects the sun-soaked terroir of its coastal
vineyards.
Nose: The aromatic profile is vibrant and inviting. On the nose, there are
initial notes of fresh strawberries and raspberries, characteristic of
Grenache & Syrah. These red berry aromas are beautifully
complemented by white blossom nuances of Viognier, reminiscent of
wild roses and apricots. Peach and some floral hints add complexity,
while a faint whisper of sea breeze underscores the wine’s maritime
origins.
Palate: On the palate, this rosé is refreshingly crisp and lively. The
Grenache imparts a juicy, red-fruited core with flavors of ripe
cherries and red currants. Syrah contributes a gentle spiciness,
with notes of white pepper and a touch of lavender. Cinsault brings
a delicate, silky texture, along with flavors of pink grapefruit and a
hint of tart cranberry. A small but important addition of Viognier
and Rolle complete the wine with some floral aromas of white
blossoms and hints of apricots. The wine's acidity is bright and
well-integrated, providing a clean, mouthwatering finish.
Finish: The finish is long and elegant, with lingering impressions of
minerality and a subtle salinity that speaks to the proximity of the
Mediterranean Sea. A slight touch of citrus zest leaves a refreshing
aftertaste, inviting another sip.
Food Pairing: This versatile rosé pairs wonderfully with a variety of
dishes, perfect for sharing with friends and family. Enjoy it with
fresh seafood, such as grilled prawns, a delicate ceviche, or buttery
scallops. It also complements Mediterranean salads, light pasta
dishes, and charcuterie boards. For a perfect seaside meal, serve it
alongside a plate of marinated olives, roasted red peppers, and a
refreshing crab dip.
