La Collection by Maison Boutinot rose Cotes de Thau
La Collection by Maison Boutinot rose Cotes de Thau - A rosé with plenty of character and finesse, from the French coast south-west of Montpellier.
This luscious and textural blend is very much a food wine; rich currant flavours provided by Grenache and tangy raspberry from Cinsault before a dry and fresh finish. Great with pasta dishes, barbeques and grilled chicken salads.
The grapes are sourced from vineyards cultivated near to Lake Thau, set in a formerly volcanic region just inland from the sea. This has a particular micro-climate - as the proximity of the water has a moderating affect on the typically Mediterranean temperatures, allowing optimal ripening whilst retaining fresh acidity. The grapes are harvested in the early morning, then the wine is vinified as a classic rosé de presse, with soft pressing and cold fermentation.
Sold in cases of six bottles
