Vineyard: Located at the heart of Languedoc in the south of France, Clos du Temple is created in the historic terroir of Cabrières, the birthplace of rosé wines.

Vinification: The harvest is completed by hand in crates at sunrise to take advantage of the lower night-time temperatures. Each plot is harvested on the optimum date and vinified separately. As the winery is at the heart of the vineyard, transport times are minimal. First, the best free-run juices are selected. After fermentation at a low temperature, clarification is performed at controlled temperatures of 8-10°C for 24 hours without any added sulphur. The wine is matured in new barrels carefully selected based on the origins of the wood, for six months on fine lees with yeast stirring.

Tasting Notes: Very pale rose. On the nose aromas of ripe apricot, white peach, rose and spice, are released. The palate is in harmony with the nose, and is followed by a mild tobacco finish. The wine is perfectly balanced, full and hugely lingering, borne up by beautiful freshness and minerality.

Paired with: Lobster pasta with tomato sauce, salmon and salads.

Served at: 10°C - 11°C.
