65% Grenache, 25% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Syrah
Domaine Montrose has become a benchmark in the production of Languedoc rosé wines. This bottling of Montrose Rosé is the emblematic wine of the Coste family. Each grape variety and each terroir are vinified separately. Grapes are harvested at night to preserve their freshness. They are destemmed and macerate for a short time. Fermentation temperature is maintained between 59 degrees Fahrenheit and 64 degrees Fahrenheit to retain fruit aromas. After fermentation, the resulting wines from the different terroirs and grape varieties are blended and aged in stainless steel vats. This wine exhibits red berries and citrus flavors on the nose and palate. It is an elegant rosé combining roundness and freshness. Enjoy the Montrose Rosé chilled on its own or paired with grilled fish, grilled meat, and salads.

2020 Cibonne Tentations Rosé, Cotes de Provence 21.00 17.85VS
50% Grenache, 20% Cinsault, 15% Syrah, 15% Tibouren
This wine is meant to be an entry point to wines of Provence featuring young vine Tibouren (15%) from their own vineyards and Grenache (50%), Cinsault (20%), and Syrah (15%) from neighboring farmers with vineyards in prime locations. The wine is aged in stainless steel, spends two months on the lees and is organic and vegan. The Tentations is pale salmon colored. On the nose, strawberries, sour cherries and lime zest combine for a lightly candied fruity aroma. The palate echos the candied fruit notes but exhibits a hint of herbs and a smidge of anise. The high acidity is tamed by the friendliness of the fruit profile—making it perfect to sip on the patio or to pair with food.
2020 La Spinetta, Il Rosé di Casanova, Toscana 20.00 17.00VS
50% Sangiovese, 50% Prugnolo Gentile
This Tuscan rosé boasts tart cherry, pomegranate and honeysuckle flavors and aromas. A contrasting blend of spiced citrus and tart apples offset by wild herbs and crushed stone. It’s silky in feel yet lifted and spry, casting ripe orchard fruits and inner herbal tones across a wave of vibrant acidity. A lingering note of salinity and hints of lemon peel keep tension high throughout the mouthwatering finale. It is a complex wine that, unlike most rosés, can be enjoyed now as well as aged for a few years.
