Mirabeau en Provence Classic Rosé 2024
Bring a little of the French Riviera to your glass with Mirabeau en Provence Classic Rosé 2024, a beautifully refreshing and wonderfully expressive rosé from the sun-drenched vineyards of southern France. Combining the elegance of traditional Provence rosé with generous summer-fruit flavours, this inviting wine captures the relaxed sophistication of Mediterranean living.
Delicate salmon pink in colour, it opens with enticing aromas of raspberry, redcurrant and ripe summer berries, accompanied by subtle floral notes and a gentle touch of spice. The palate is lively and fruit-filled, with refreshing acidity, a beautifully dry character and a crisp, lingering finish.
Perfect for sunny afternoons, relaxed gatherings and al fresco dining, Mirabeau Classic is equally enjoyable as a chilled aperitif or alongside fresh seafood, grilled meats and Mediterranean-inspired dishes. A stylish, versatile rosé offering an irresistible taste of Provence.
Mirabeau en Provence Classic Rosé 2024 is produced by Maison Mirabeau, the acclaimed Provençal wine producer founded by British couple Stephen and Jeany Cronk in 2010. Having left their careers in London to pursue a long-held ambition of making wine in southern France, the couple established Mirabeau with a vision of creating elegant, accessible rosés that celebrate the distinctive character of Provence.
The wine carries the prestigious Côtes de Provence appellation and is blended from carefully selected vineyard parcels across the region. Fruit from the clay and limestone soils of the upper and central Var contributes richness and depth, while vineyards around the Sainte-Victoire mountain, with their limestone-rich soils, provide freshness and aromatic precision.
The 2024 blend comprises 44% Grenache, 27% Cinsault, 17% Syrah and 7% Carignan, with the remaining 5% made up of Cabernet Sauvignon, Rolle and Ugni Blanc. Each variety contributes to the wine's balance, combining generous fruit with structure, freshness and subtle complexity.
Grapes are harvested at night to preserve their natural acidity and delicate aromas before undergoing gentle direct pressing and carefully controlled fermentation. Partial juice maceration helps develop additional aromatic character, while protective winemaking techniques preserve freshness and fruit purity.
The resulting wine is a classic expression of Provence: carefully blended, beautifully balanced and crafted to deliver both immediate drinking pleasure and excellent versatility at the table.
A dry, refreshing and fruit-forward Provence rosé, combining generous red berry flavours with delicate spice, lively acidity and an elegant, crisp finish.
