Winemaking Notes

Made in Côtes de Provence in the village of Vidauban in a true Provence Rosé style, this wine is smooth and elegant with a lovely pale copper-salmon color in the glass. Classic aromas of citrus oil, cantaloupe, and candied watermelon lead into flavors of white peach, mango, and blossom with hints of tellicherry peppercorn. The 2021 Olema Rosé shows incredible balance between acidity and freshness and is one of our most complex vintages to date.

All grapes went direct to press with minimal skin contact leading to the pale copper-salmon color and smooth, viscous texture. The must was fermented cold, preserving the freshness of floral aromatics, and matured in stainless steel, giving vibrant fruit intensity and a long, crisp finish.

“Some cherry, crushed stone and slate aromas with hints of roses and white pepper follow through to a medium body. Creamy structure with phenolics and framing. Real rosé. Mostly grenache with some cinsault, syrah and carignan. Drink now.”
