![]() With Summertime temperatures approaching on the horizon, it's a good time to lean into the most Summertime-y of wines, the classic Provence Rose. A chilled bottle of pale salmon pink wine just screams poolside leisure to so many, and Provence historically sets that tone for most of the world. This estate is a relatively new addition to the legendary portfolio of Rosenthal Wine Merchants (essentially the East Coast equivalence of the esteemed Kermit Lynch), but the lands here have history back to Roman times and the estate itself has been run by the same family for nearly 200 years. An organically run property with all estate owned vineyards, this is a winery that definitely looks to make the best Roses possible. Refreshing dried strawberry and citrus aromas with an underlying salinity and wet rock note that reminds you that the Mediterranean is only a couple miles from the vineyards. The palate is juicy and round with tart citrus and light red fruits at first, before almost immediately getting racy and increasingly pleasingly bitter (the importer refers to a French term, 'amertume') that defines the flavor through the finish. Like many of the European cocktails, that bitter note is refreshing and appetite stimulating, leaving your mouth ready for another quenching sip or some light salty snacks, even mediterranean seafood salads.
