The Wine
A classically styled, pale Provençal Rose that is made unique by the rare and aromatic Tibouren grape.
Very light peach‑pink color and a clean, bright profile. The nose leans toward red fruits — cherry and soft berry — with subtle citrus and a faint spice note. On the palate it’s crisp, dry, and refreshing, offering a fresh, balanced mix of cherry, lemon, and the region's iconic herbal notes. The finish features notes of mineral and Mediterranean salinity, giving the wine a refreshing snap that makes it especially food‑friendly.
Pairings Excellent with grilled lamb chops, ratatouille, Thai beef salad, or simple Mediterranean dishes. It also works well with salads, raw vegetables, and lighter Provençal fare. An unusually versatile wine for cheese pairings across a wide array of milks and styles, though fresh goat cheeses are its kindred spirit!
The Winery
Ramatuelle sits within the Côtes de Provence zone along the Mediterranean coast, where clay‑limestone soils and warm, dry conditions shape the region’s signature rosé style.
Tibouren, a thin‑skinned black grape, is prized here for producing delicate, aromatic rosés with bright acidity and subtle spice. The house style emphasizes gentle handling, cool fermentations, and stainless‑steel aging to preserve clarity, freshness, and the grape’s distinctive mineral profile.
