Notes: This wine is a postcard of the Mediterranean Sea, a nod to summer days, where the Mediterranean sun mixes with the sea breeze, where citrus fruits and wild red fruits blend with the herbal and spicy character of our mountains.

This intense and balanced rosé, can be enjoyed alone or paired with sea bream ceviche and citrus fruits, salmon gravlax with rosemary, fennel or fresh Saint-Jacques scallops with citrus butter.
