🍷 Appearance

• Pale salmon pink in the glass — bright and luminous, typical of Grenache-based rosés from Languedoc/Roussillon.

👃 Aromas (Nose)

• Fresh red berry aromas — wild strawberry, raspberry and cranberry notes give a fragrant lift.

• Hints of rose petal and citrus peel, adding delicate floral and zesty nuances.

• Light herbal touches — subtle thyme or Provençal herbiness in the background.

👄 Palate (Taste & Texture)

• Crisp and dry, with bright acidity that makes it refreshing and lively.

• Flavours of strawberry, watermelon and redcurrant are front of palate.

• A hint of citrus zest and a faint saline/mineral edge add complexity.

• Light to medium-bodied with a clean, refreshing finish.

🍽 Food Pairing Suggestions

Pairs beautifully with Mediterranean dishes, fresh seafood (like prawns or oysters), salads with citrus dressings, grilled chicken or light cheese platters — classic matches for a dry French rosé.
