Chateau Roubine 'Premium' Organic Cotes de Provence Cru Classe Rose

Chateau Roubine ‘Premium’ is crafted solely with estate-owned grapes, coming from the vineyard surrounding the Chateau, and classified, since 1955 as ‘Provence Premier Cru Classe’ – one of the 18 estates only in the prestigious appellation, and the only of those estates being certified biodynamic. The vines are certified biodynamic by the ‘Demeter’ organization which means aside avoiding chemicals, we support our vines to be self-sufficient and stronger in the long run.   This delicious fine and delicate Côtes de Provence Rose is made mainly from local Provençal grapes like Grenache & Tibouren, together with some Cinsault, Carignan and Mourvedre. The grapes are harvested at night and taken to their state-of-the-art winery where the fermentation and maturation take place in stainless steel tanks. This wine is made carefully and with great precision and this is reflected in the end-product – which has that elegant, dry sweetness so sought after with top class rose.   This is a beautiful rose with pale fruit, fresh and balanced. The fruit is crunchy on the nose (clementine). Intense freshness and great aromatic elegance in this blend – a wine of gluttony and pleasure. At the same time mineral, lively, complex, and elegant.
