Grape Varietal The wine is a traditional Provençal blend, primarily composed of a mix of red and sometimes white grapes, with the majority being red. The 2024 blend includes: Grenache (The dominant grape, providing body and red fruit) Cinsault (Adds freshness and delicate aromatics) Syrah (Contributes structure and darker fruit notes) Carignan and Mourvèdre (Add complexity and depth) Rolle (Vermentino - a white grape that can contribute texture and citrus/mineral notes) Region Côtes de Provence AOC, France. Specifically sourced from vineyards in the village of Vidauban. Style A dry, crisp, and elegant Provençal-style rosé. The grapes undergo direct press with minimal skin contact and are fermented and matured cold in stainless steel to preserve the wine's vibrant freshness, delicate color, and floral aromatics. Color A beautiful, pale copper-salmon or pale rose-gold hue, characteristic of top-tier Provence rosé. Aroma The nose is highly aromatic and complex, offering a mix of fresh fruit, floral, and subtle citrus notes. Classic aromas include sliced lemon, candied cantaloupe, peaches, wild strawberries, and citrus oil, sometimes with a hint of rose petals or blossom. Flavor The palate is smooth and elegant, with a focus on vibrant acidity and a textural, medium- to full-body for a rosé. It delivers layered flavors of white peach, grapefruit, melon, cranberry, and red berries. A subtle hint of minerality and spice (tellicherry peppercorn) adds complexity, leading to a crunchy, dry, and long, crisp finish. Food Pairing Its refreshing acidity and elegant structure make it exceptionally food-friendly: Summer salads (especially those with goat cheese or tomatoes) Fresh seafood (seared salmon, grilled white fish, shellfish) Grilled white meats and poultry French cheeses and charcuterie Vegetable-based dishes Overall The 2024 Olema Rosé Côtes de Provence is an outstanding vintage, praised for its incredible balance and complexity.
