WINE DESCRIPTION
Domaine de Fondrèche Cuvée Domaine Ventoux Rosé, also known as L'Instant Rosé hails from the Ventoux appellation in France. Vineyards are situated on sandy soils and are managed organically gaining certification in 2022. Vinification occurs without sulfites in stainless steel tanks. Grapes are directly pressed and protected from oxygen to preserve freshness. Skins are macerated with the juice for a short period with the lees to further protect the wine from oxidation and retain the pristine fruit character. The resulting wine has a crisp and refreshing character, with a perfect balance of fruitiness and acidity.

ORIGINS
Winery: Domaine de Fondrèche
Region: Rhone
The Rhone wine region is located in southeastern France. It runs along the Rhone River roughly from Lyon in the north to Avignon in the south. It is divided into two main sub-regions: the Northern Rhone, running from Lyon to Montelimar, and the Southern Rhone, from Montelimar to Avignon. Although wines of all color are made, both regions are most famous for thier red wine. The Northern Rhone is known for its full-bodied red wines made from Syrah grapes with the possible inclusion of some white grapes, while the Southern Rhone is known for its blends of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre grapes. The region has a long history of wine production, dating back to the ancient Romans with the sites of some former Roman vineyards being replanted surrounding the town of Vienne.CUSTOMER RATING
