From the winery:
Attractive bright and translucent colour, a typical Provencal pale pink. The nose immediately reveals all the elegance of this Miraval Rosé with its superb aromatic bouquet delicately combining fresh fruit, freshly cut currants and roses, seasoned with a zest of lemon. The refinement continues on the palate with an ample, rich and gourmet texture, perfectly balanced by the natural acidity and minerality with saline and limestone notes specific to Miraval which continue in a long finish. A typical Miraval vintage with signature flavours.
13% Alcohol
The 2021 Miraval Provence Rosé opens with a fresh and attractive aroma of cherry, lemon, raspberry, rose petals and some light herbal notes.
Taking a sip reveals a smooth, tasty wine with similar flavors to the nose although the fruit is tart and juicy in the mouth. Featuring good structure, good balance and good complexity, it has touches of white pepper and minerals throughout.
It ends dry, long, and a bit chalky. This is tasty stuff.
