Tasting Notes

The Little Sheep of France Rose is elegant, with notes of red summer berries and delicate floral notes. Smooth, and beautifully balanced with fruit-forward flavors and hints of grenadine that lead into a refreshing, enjoyable finish.

Vineyard

These grapes were grown in ideal conditions with a mixture of clay, shale and gravel soils. The hot, windswept, semi-arid Mediterranean climate with its mild winters is perfectly suited to the ripening and healthy condition of the grapes while keeping all their fresh crispness thanks to the effects of altitude and of the sea which help to offset the heat of the summer.

Appellation

Rose is one of the major wine trends of the 21st Century so far, no longer seen as a poor substitute to reds and whites. And there's plenty to discover in Languedoc rose. When the temperatures heat up most wine drinkers are more likely to reach for a bottle of rose than a hearty red. Under the circumstances, it's hardly surprising that the Languedoc, like Provence, has an established tradition of producing excellent rose wines. With delicate aromatic and crisp fresh fruit notes, the Little Sheep is winner every time.

Vinification

After the grapes are carefully selected, they are gently pressed. A controlled low-temperature fermentation is them carried out in stainless steel tanks with maximum protection from oxidation. The final wine is then rested before bottling.
