Our beloved Massanella even more beautiful and charming
We just love our rosé wine! In the first vintage (2020) it was our food-friendly rosé, last years release (2021) was a über-elegant charmeur and so this vintage we wanted to see if we could manage in making a "food-friendly charmeur" 😉
Basically aiming for the charme and finesse of 2021 with a bit more backbone like the 2020.
This year again mainly Grenache, as it was so beautiful that we barely needed to add anything else; so for once a very easy wine to make! Just grapes harvested at the point of perfection, chilled overnight, then destemmed, very gently and slowly pressed - just enough time to get that beautiful pink color we love, and finally set to decant in the vat for a couple of days before racking to a clean vat and set to ferment. After that only time was needed, and finally just before bottling we decided to add a bit extra color, body and spice to it by adding 6% of Cabernet Sauvignon. We proudly present you our best rosé so far.

When, where and with whom
Our delightful rosé is the perfect wine to serve on it's own when you want to spoil yourself and those you love. It's THE perfect wine for summer moments under the sun and try adding some frozen strawberries to keep it nicely chilled. However, it has definitely enough "oomph" to match with food and though above suggestion is pure magic this wine is very versatile and also works super well with charcuterie etc.
