$272.00 GST Included

SHIPPING INCLUDED ONLY IN NEW SOUTH WALES. WINE IS NOT AVAILABLE TO BE DELIVERED OUTSIDE NSW.

“Clair de Rose” embodies the quintessence of a Les Jamelles rosé, though, exceptionally, it is a blend of two grape varieties, Grenache and Cinsault. The result is a subtle wine that is well balanced: elegant and delectable, floral and fruity, fresh and round on the palate…

Terroir(s)
The grapes for this wine are sourced from diverse terroirs: those from the Herault Valley’s mid-slope vineyards, under the influence of the Mediterranean climate, yield rich, warm, sun-drenched wines; a little further to the south, the sandy alluvial soils around the Thau lagoon basin lend freshness and salinity; while further east, the calcareous clay soils in the environs of Narbonne, where the climate is dry and sunny, yield rich wines.

Vinification
The grapes are pressed immediately after being harvested. The must is clarified using flotation in order to obtain very clear juice that is then vinified as for a white wine and fermented at low temperatures (15°C). There is no malolactic fermentation.

Tasting
Doted with lovely pale pink colour, Les Jamelles Clair de Rose is perfectly balanced, fresh, lively and round, with floral and fruity aromas of raspberry and grenadine.

The wines have won praise from the press throughout the world for their excellent quality, placing them in a class of their own. Created by nature and the work of talented men and women, ‘Les Jamelles’ wines offer a real handcrafted quality… the simplicity of authentic products… a different spirit.

The wide variety of wines the Les Jamelles range boasts is only possible due to the diversity of the terroirs and grape varieties that the Languedoc region has to offer.
