Rosé de Portets has arrived !
We’re delighted to present our latest innovation: Rosé de Portets ! A first for Château de Portets, that you’re welcome to discover.
Looks like the South…
Rosé de Portets, composed of 100% Merlot, is made by direct pressing of the grapes to obtain a pale, slightly salmon color reminiscent of Mediterranean rosé. The nose opens with an aroma of summer peach and grapefruit, followed by a sweet note of wild strawberry and a light floral background. On the palate, a refreshing, lemony acidity balances the wine. In the end, a very summery fruity sensation transports you to moments of pleasure under the sun.
Rosé in Bordeaux ?!
Yes, of course ! Contrary to popular belief, Bordeaux began producing rosé wine in the Middle Ages, a wine known as “clairet”. You can still find this very dark style of rosé in the region today. At Château de Portets, we prefer to take a trip south, with a very light rosé that’s perfect with aperitifs, mixed salads, grilled or raw fish (carpaccio, tartare, sushi…) You can even try it with fruit salad for dessert !
