Ferry Lacombe Mira Rose 2016

60% Grenache, 20% Cinsault, and 20% Vermentino from sustainably tended vineyards planted in clay-limestone terroir, are harvested at night at low temperatures for cooler macerations in order to limit the loss of color and preserve nuance. Malolactic fermentation is blocked to preserve the wine’s natural acidity.

Mira is a soft pink-rose color, with light salmon highlights. The nose is delicate, opening to a red berry aroma. It is round and fresh on the palate, developing some red fruit aromas like strawberries and grenadine as it opens up. They are joined by citrus notes and spices such as licorice and cinnamon. This is a well-balanced rose that is perfect as both an aperitif and with many light, summery meals. This wine is ideal to serve by itself as an aperitif, but is also excellent with white meats, such as chicken or pork, grilled fish and mixed salads.
