Estandon Heritage Cotes de Provence Ros?? 2015 $20
The Cotes de Provence part of France's vast Provence region, specialises in light, soft ros??, which accounts for the great majority of the area's wine production. The blush-pink colour and delicate, fruity aroma conjure images of summer haze, soft colours, the aroma of wild herbs and simple, fresh Provencal food. The wine sits light, fresh, round and soft on the palate, with a refreshingly fruity-savoury dry finish. It's a blend of the red varieties grenache, cinsault??? and syrah - with a splash of white vermentino. The wine's blush comes from a very brief maceration on skins before the grapes are pressed.
