Rosé of Cinsault, Domaine de Fenouillet

50% Cinsault/40% Grenache/10% Syrah

This rosé is vinified partially by direct press and partially by ‘saignée’, the juice is naturally clarified after a cold ‘debourbage’ of 24 hours, the wine ferments at temperature that never exceeds 16 degrees Celsius and then it is aged on the fine lees for four to six months before bottling. It is a blend of Cinsault, Grenache and Syrah, all of which are planted to soils of clay, limestone and silex.

There's a rich texture with flavors of strawberry and peach, and a touch of earthiness in the background. This rose has some weight, but with its light mineral finish, it remains quite refreshing.
