Rhonéa Les Mots du Vin Rosé 2018

Some wines just speak to you; some whisper sweet nothings, some tell you tales of their home and others are so complicated that they'll try to explain to you the relationship between canopy management and the development of pyrazines in Bordeaux varietals - bloomin' wine geeks.

Les Mots du Vin delivers a more seductive address; standing on a soap box (or juice box, are we right?) constructed from an exhilarating Southern Rhône field blend, this elegant rosé, speaks of zippy pink grapefruit, crunchy raspberries and allusions to wild flowers. It really is rather inciteful.
Rhonéa is a melting pot of local winegrowers all working together in the spectacular landscape of the Southern Rhône. Today Rhonéa is made up of 250 estates situated around the craggy and imposing Dentelles de Monmirail. All are united in their quest to produce quality grapes with minimal intervention to produce top drinking wines.



The Rhonéa team posit, “growing grapes sustainably is important but saving the planet is even more so! Rhonéa and their artisan winegrowers are fully responsible for their wines from the vine to the glass and committed to ethical and equitable practices.”



From vine to the bottle, every step is made to maintain a pure expression of fruit, freshness and complexity. The grapes are harvested early to guarantee a perfect expression of the fruit and maximum freshness. A subtle combination of cool-temperature skin contact and direct pressing ensures a wine with both finesse and body. Cold fermentation guarantees full expression of the wine's aromas. The wine is aged on its lees to maintain freshness and provide complexity.
