Gamay (FR) + Moscatel (ES) '22

Loire, France
Nestled in the heart of France you will find the Loire wine region. Named after and known for France's longest river and consisting of four different regions. This French region is renowned for its sweet chenin blanc wines. Despite their exceptional quality, they remain somewhat undervalued.

Priorat, Spain
Priorat is somewhat of a mecca of the wine world. The volcanic history of the region left behind a rocky, wild terrain that's full of character. Those rough and tough soils are exactly what the grapevines need to flourish.

This rosé was born by chance. When we received more kilos of gamay grapes on September 7th, the winery wasn't yet completed. The juice from the grapes was collected without any pressing, resulting in a beautiful free-run juice. As the stainless steel tanks quickly filled up, there was no room for the juice, leading to a short period of skin contact, which gave the rosé its lovely color. We blended the gamay and moscatel and fermented and aged them in stainless steel tanks. Except for a small amount of added sulfites to prevent unwanted microorganisms, our organic wine yeast, and an organic component to prevent bacteria on the muscatel, this wine is made only with grape juice. Afterward, we used a cellulose filter to clarify the wine.

A rosé that’s equally elegant as an aperitif as it is paired with delicate dishes such as salades, grilled veggies or loads of seafood. Bonus points: its refreshing and fruity notes will add even more depth to your spicy Asian-inspired favourites.
