Provence Rosé Selection

Provence rosé is crafted using the saignée method, where red grape juice has minimal contact with skins, creating the signature pale salmon colour and delicate flavour profile. The Mediterranean climate and limestone-rich soils of Provence produce rosés with exceptional minerality and freshness. This region pioneered the dry rosé style that's now recognised globally, setting the benchmark for elegant, food-friendly rosés with their characteristic balance of fruit and acidity.

This curated pack features four distinguished Provence producers: Maison Saint AIX, the iconic Whispering Angel from Chateau D'Esclans, Quinson Flis, and Villa Del Rose. Each represents a different terroir within Provence, from the coastal influence of Côtes de Provence to the inland Coteaux d'Aix en Provence appellation. Together, they showcase the diversity and quality that has made Provence the world's most celebrated rosé region.

The citrus, strawberry, and mineral notes in these rosés make them incredibly versatile with food, particularly Mediterranean cuisine. They excel with seafood dishes like grilled prawns or bouillabaisse, complement fresh salads with goat's cheese, and enhance the flavours of herb-crusted lamb or ratatouille. The creamy texture and raspberry hints also pair beautifully with charcuterie boards and soft cheeses, making them perfect for Australian outdoor entertaining.

Serve these Provence rosés well-chilled at 8-10°C to showcase their crisp acidity and delicate fruit flavours. Store bottles in a cool, dark place away from temperature fluctuations, and once opened, they'll maintain their freshness for 2-3 days in the refrigerator. The 2024 vintage is designed for immediate enjoyment while the wines retain their vibrant colour and fresh character, though quality Provence rosés can develop interesting complexity over 1-2 years.

The 4.0+ Vivino ratings reflect the exceptional quality and consistency of these Provence producers, particularly Whispering Angel which has achieved cult status among rosé enthusiasts. These wines demonstrate the perfect balance of fruit intensity, mineral complexity, and refreshing acidity that defines premium Provence rosé. The 'Iconic' rating acknowledges their role in elevating rosé from a simple summer drink to a serious wine category respected by critics and consumers worldwide.
