Vin Doux Naturel Rosé 2014 from AOC Rasteau 

The vinification of the Vin Doux Naturels 

Our terroir is mainly made up of clay-limestone soils.
This cuvée of Vin Doux Naturel Rosé comes from a parcel called "Les Encostes" where the vines have been growing for more than 40 years in the south-west of Rasteau and is composed of 100% Grenache noir.

The grapes are harvested by hand. After sorting the grapes in the vineyard and on arrival in the cellar, this Vin Doux Naturel Rosé is made in the traditional way (direct pressing, vinification in white, partial fermentation of the must at low temperature for fifteen days, then mutation with neutral alcohol between 5% and 10%), with maturation in stainless steel tanks for ten months.

This Vin Doux Naturel Rosé can be enjoyed as an aperitif, as a starter with melon and Bayonne ham, as well as with foie gras and desserts such as a lemon pie, and should be served between 9° and 12°.
