Winery Review: With a beautiful translucent pink hue, VieVité exudes the colors of a true Côtes de Provence rose wine. On the nose, an expression of ripe tropical fruit is balanced with a pleasant bouquet of white flowers and a discreet touch of spice. On the palate, well-structured fruit and balanced acidity creates a crisp and delicate finish.
Blend: 30% Cinsault, 30% Grenache, 30% Syrah, 10% Carignan (Average age of the vines is 25 years old)
Wine Folly: In page 48 of Wine Folly, it speaks a little about Rosé wines. The Rosé wine was probably created through maceration. For this, the red grape skins were left in the juice for a short time (about 4-12) hours. The wine is a blend, which according to wine folly, means that it is made by blending several different varietal wines together.
My Review: (I forgot to include a picture of my face with the wine.) Although this wine was supposed to have a pink hue, it seemed to be more orange to me. At least for this wine bottle specifically. The wine was fruity and quite light bodied. It smelled of flowers and was refreshing. Tasted of red fruits, and had a juicy acidity. Definitely a fan of the wine, my dad bought it for me from Costco.
