2024 Isle Saint-Pierre Vin de Pays de Mediterranee Rose

Dive into the breezy elegance of Isle Saint-Pierre Vin de Pays de Méditerranée Rosé, a refreshing delight from Provence’s Méditerranée IGP. Crafted by fourth-generation vigneron Julien Henry on a Rhône River island, this blend of 40% Cabernet Franc, 40% Merlot, and 20% Vermentino is sustainably farmed and direct-pressed for vibrant clarity. Its pale pink-orange hue shimmers with summer vibes. Bursting with wild strawberry and grapefruit, it’s perfect for grilled seafood or sunny aperitifs. This dry, light-bodied rosé delivers high acidity and a crisp, citrusy finish, capturing Provence’s laid-back charm with bistro-style ease.

Nose: A lively bouquet unfolds with wild strawberry, raspberry, and grapefruit zest, accented by a whisper of Provençal herbs and blossom. It’s fragrant and inviting.

Palate: Taut and refreshing, the palate offers red currant, cranberry, and a snap of bitter orange. High acidity and a clean, mineral structure create a vibrant, easy-drinking texture. Effortlessly crisp.

Finish: Tart citrus and a subtle mineral edge. It’s nervy, urging another sip with coastal flair.

This rosé is a summer star. Pair it with grilled shrimp or sea bass for a coastal match. It shines with light salads, goat cheese, or charcuterie. For a casual vibe, try it with salty snacks like potato chips or fresh ceviche. Its acidity and fruit-forward profile elevate tangy, savory, or herbaceous flavors.
