Wine details

Vineyards/Region

The Saint-Roch vineyard is in the heart of Roussillon, south of France, close to the Spanish border. Halfway between the Pyrenees and the Mediterranean Sea, the Queribus Cathar castle, set on a steep cliff, overlooks the valley and the mosaic of our vineyard. High Environmental Value level 3 vineyard. Sustainable, low-impact farming. Bush vines for the Grenache, spur prune for the Syrah. Stony, black schist soil, with loam, in the Agly Valley. Vine age: 40-80 years.

Tasting Note

A gregariously friendly Rosé with citrus and floral aromas and delicate strawberry flavors. Mineral notes come from the black slate soils. With a lively acidity but a decadent richness of fruit, this wine tastes like summer in a glass and is the perfect way to welcome guests to your next BBQ.

Food Pairing

Enjoy as an aperitif, or pair with any kind of seafood, salads or hard cheeses.
