Jean-Luc Colombo 2021 Rose, Cape Bleu, Mediterranee

Description

Wine Enthusiast Magazine #3 Best Buy of 2022!!Cape Bleue Rosé comes from the stony, limestone (Calcaire) vineyards nestled in the hills above the bay of Marseille (the area next to Provence). The influence of the sea, sun and lake provides for hot days and cool nights – ideal for grape growing. Traditional “saignée” method is used, undergoing a 10 hour cold soak until desired color achieved, then tanks are drained of all juice or must. Fermentation occurred at low temperature in stainless steel vats for three weeks preserving primary aromas.Wine Enthusiast Magazine selected this as the #3 Best Buy if 2022. They scored it 90 points saying “A blend of 67% Syrah and 33% Mourvèdre sourced from vineyards outside of Marseille, this is a svelte yet juicy wine packed with crisp raspberry, nectarine and apricot flavors. Pale pink and brisk in style, it’s a wine to enjoy young alongside spring and summer fare.” 750 ml
