Domaine de Figueirasse - Gris de Gris Rosé (2022)
Sable de Camargue, Provence, France
About the wine
Gris de Gris des Sables is a particular style of rosé wine made especially in the Camargue, most typically a blend of Grenache and Cinsault, pressed gently to extract a delicate, pale salmon color. The grapes for this rosé, a field blend of Grenache Noir, Grenache Gris, Grenache Blanc and Cinsault were hand-harvested overnight (when temperatures were coolest) and were immediately pressed gently and then fermented in temperature-controlled, stainless-steel vats on indigenous yeasts. The wine was also aged in tank and bottled in early winter to preserve the vintage’s fresh fruit.
"Dry, lively and refreshing. Aromas and flavors of tangy red cherries, pomegranate, fresh ginger, white pepper." - winemaker's notes
