WINE DESCRIPTION
Château Cavalier Cuvee Marafiance is a blend of Grenache, Syrah, Cinsault, Rolle, Sémillon and Cabernet Sauvignon produced in the Côtes de Provence appellation nearing France's Mediterranean coast. The winemaking involves delicate direct pressing of black grapes for a pure extraction to create a lightly colored juice. The wines are fermented in temperature-controlled inert vessels to produce an elegant and versatile rosé that is perfect with garlic-heavy dishes, seafood platters, or on its own on a hot summer's day.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Château Cavalier Cuvee Marafiance Côtes de Provence has a classic pale pink color expected of the style.On the nose, you can expect a light intensity bouquet of ripe red fruits, such as strawberries and cranberries, accompanied by subtle floral notes. These aromas are complemented by hints of herbs and spices. The palate offers a fine balance between fruitiness and freshness, with vibrant acidity that brings liveliness to each sip. The red fruit flavors persist on the palate, accompanied by a touch of minerality that is present on the dry, acid-driven finish.

ORIGINS
Winery: Château Cavalier
Region: Provence
Nestled in the south of France, Provence is a Mediterranean paradise for wine lovers. With its stunning landscapes, mild climate, and rich history, Provence as a wine region is more than just the home to refreshing holiday rosé wines.
The history of winemaking in Provence dates back to the ancient Greeks, who first planted vines in the region in 600 BC. Since then, the region has become renowned for its unique terroir and its production of high-quality wines. In the 19th century, the region experienced a period of decline due to the phylloxera epidemic, but it has since recovered and is now one of the most important wine regions in France.CUSTOMER RATING
