Estandon Héritage Rosé 2022
Presentation
Estandon has been expressing the personality of the Côtes de Provence A.O.C. wines with talent since 1947.
Vintage after vintage, it remains the reference, synonymous with quality and relaxed enjoyment.
Terroir
Héritage is crafted from a blend of wines originating in the finest terroirs of the Côtes de Provence AOC with shallow schist and loam soils located on the foothills of the Maures mountains and on the hilltop slopes near Flayosc, on the doorstep of the Verdon. These ancient vineyards grow on hills amid olive trees and Holm Oaks. Other vineyards, located at a slightly lower altitude, on the clay-limestone slopes of the commune of Le Thoronet (home to the famous 12th century Cistercian abbey) and the variegated sandstone soil of the Cannet des Maures commune, receive an exceptional amount Provençal sunshine.
Winemaking
The grapes are harvested very early in the night to ensure that the wine has a lovely pale appearance. A short maceration on the skins is performed before pressing. The juices are settled at low temperature. Alcoholic fermentation is temperature-controlled and malolactic fermentation is prevented. Vinification is carried out in temperature-controlled stainless-steel vats in the traditional manner.
Food pairings
This wine will pair perfectly with a plancha of seafood or a fragrant exotic dish.
