Chateau Riotor Cotes de Provence Rose 2018

Produced by the Abeille family, who also own vineyards in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, this wine has its own richness and full, ripe character. Tasty raspberry flavors are balanced by acidity, although with a full, generous finish.

Blended from Grenache and Cinsault grapes with a touch of Syrah and Rolle, Château Riotor strikes a delicious balance between sunny, ripe berry fruit and elegant freshness. Vibrant salmon pink in color with brilliant reflections, the wine is vividly scented with apple, pear, yellow plum and peach aromas that are repeated on the palate.

The body shows lush breadth supported by finely tuned acidity, with beautiful balance and lovely length on the finish. Superb as an apéritif, it is delicious with crustaceans, grilled or roast fish and white meats.
