the vast majority of the wines are rosés, blended from Grenache, Cabernet-Sauvignon and Carignan, sometimes augmented with Cinsault, Syrah and Mourvedre. Made using the ‘bleeding’ technique, they display a pink hue with orangy tints. They are lively, fresh and fruity with good acidity. Try them with olive paste or Mediterranean fish and shellfish. The white wines, made from Ugni Blanc (no more than 40%), Sauvignon and Semillon (30%), Bourboulenc, Clairette, Grenache and Vermentino, are made by the direct to press method. They are light, fresh and delicate (white fruit, floral fragrances) and are a perfect match for grilled fish with herbs (fennel). The red wines, with their delicate tannins, are fruity and well-balanced. They exude aromas of leather, liquorice, black fruit (blackcurrant, prunes) and spicy notes. Enjoy with grilled meat.
