Bieler Pere et Fils Sabine Rosé
2020, Provence, France
The classic Provence Rosé profile is what every serious winemaker around the world attempts to mimic and for good reason. The goal is to find the delicate balance between floral, herbal, wild red fruit (not overly ripe), stone fruit and acid. Enticing aromatics of peach, white cherry and wild raspberry that are balanced by summer flowers, white tea and Provence herbs. These delicate flavors carry through to a creamy yet lifted palate that’s interwoven with rose petal and wet stones. The wine is in no way heavy or fat on the palate, but rather the palate has tremendous length in addition to the raspberry, cherry, peach, herbal, citrus and mineral core.
Blend: Grenache 41%, Syrah 27%, Cabernet Sauvignon 15%, Cinsault 12%, Rolle 5%
“Fresh red berries, citrus fruits and floral notes on the fragrant nose. Dry and energetic in the mouth, offering lively strawberry, cherry and tangerine flavors that flesh out through the mid palate. Closes long and subtly spicy, with repeating citrus fruit and floral character.”
