Domaine Lalande Pays d'Oc Terrasse de Lalande Rosé 2024

A juicy, dry rosé made from Merlot and Syrah grapes, made by Pierre de Groote in the Languedoc. Originally from Belgium, Pierre has built a successful winery and is known for the excellent value of his wines. The somewhat unusual Merlot-Syrah combination works well here. The brief contact on the skins with the fermenting grape juice creates the characteristic Provençal color and preserves fruity aromas. The ripeness of the harvested grapes gives it a juicy, mildly dry flavor. An ideal terrace wine that tastes best straight from the refrigerator.

This wine tastes best in its first year of production. After this, most rosé wines quickly lose their youthful fruitiness, but this also applies to many white wines. Store the bottles in a cool place and avoid (prolonged) high temperatures of 22 degrees Celsius or above, which generally cause wine to develop rapidly.

Drinking at
A delicious Provence-style rosé to enjoy as an aperitif, on the patio, or with drinks. Also lovely with light dishes, such as summer salads with grilled fish or chicken.

Tasting note
A light salmon-pink wine with open aromas of strawberry, peach, pear, and anise. Accessible and wonderfully juicy with ripe red fruit and a pleasant freshness. The finish is mild and smooth.

Shelf life
Drink immediately and keep for approximately 2 years after harvest date.
