H.B. Languedoc Rosé - Somm Journal

somm journal purple logo"This 100% Grenache from 15- to 20-year-old vines is directpressed and cold-clarified for 48 hours before undergoing skin maceration to extract fruit intensity. Slow fermentation at 59 degrees Fahrenheit and aging on fine lees give it depth and intensity. On the nose are notes of ripe citrus and strawberry, while the palate brings peach, red currant, and strawberry within a well-structured mouthfeel, followed by a long, round finish. Packed with freshness and good acidity, the wine would be a perfect apéritif or accompaniment to an al fresco meal, perhaps including cheese drizzled in honey; the stunning packaging and attractive SRP also make it an eye-catching option for retailers to stock in summer."
