WINE DESCRIPTION
Château Val d'Arenc Bandol Rosé is a majority blend of Mourvèdre with a touch of Grenache Noir and Cinsault. the wine comes from the Bandol appellation in the Provence region, known for giving fuller-bodied and more intense rosés compared to some of its neighbouring areas. The old vines are grown on clay-limestone soils that help retain water during the warm growing season. The grapes are vinified separately and blended together, before a period of maturation to ensure the flavors are completely harmonious prior to bottling.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Château Val d'Arenc Bandol Rosé has a stunning medium pink color.On the nose, it offers a lively array of fresh tiny red berries, such as cranberries, strawberries and raspberries, along with hints of citrus and floral notes. The palate is light to medium in body, with a well-balanced acidity that brings a refreshing crispness to the wine. The flavors of red fruits continue to shine, accompanied by subtle spicy and mineral undertones. The wine finishes with a delicate dry and savory bite, marked by notes of brushed Provençal herbs.

ORIGINS
Winery: Château Val d'Arenc
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
