Les Vins Bréban

Wine

L’Opale de la Presqu’île de St Tropez, Côtes de Provence

Varietal Composition

50% Grenache, 30% Cinsault, 20% Carignan

Wine Notes

Pale pink in color, with sparkles of gray; a deliciously refined nose of spring flowers; mid-palate, floral notes continue with a hint of lemon; good length on the palate. A fresh, pleasant wine.

Pairing Recommendation

Served at a temperature of 46°F to 50°F, the Presqu’ïle de St Tropez rosé can be enjoyed alone or with everyday meals, including pizza and pasta.

Vinification

The vinification combines traditional and modern techniques: stripping, pressing, and cool-steeping of the grapes, followed by bleeding of the must and temperature-controlled fermentation (at 64°-68°F) to extract maximum flavor and aroma.

Terroir

The limestone soil, with limited clay, contains fragments of highly porous gravel, allowing the surface to heat up quickly following the first rays of sunlight. The grapes ripen well, with an optimum balance of sugar and acidity.
