Chateau Maime Collection Rose (750ml)

The Collection Rose from Chateau Maime is a classic Cotes de Provence blend of Syrah, Grenache and Cinsault. It comes from an estate with a Provencal chapel that dates to the Middle Ages. The wine is pale and dry, and it is unmistakably Provence. Because it is mevushal, it pours freely at the summer Shabbos table.

Mood: Pale, Provence, summer.

Tasting Notes

In the glass it is a pale salmon-pink. White peach, wild strawberry, orange blossom and a whisper of Provencal herbs make up the nose. Dry and refreshing on the palate, it brings red berry, citrus zest and a cleansing mineral edge. It finishes crisp and lightly floral, and it quenches thirst.

Food Pairing

This is the rose for a summer Shabbos. Pour it with grilled salmon, cold chicken salad, tuna nicoise, or a Mediterranean spread of hummus, olives and grilled vegetables. Chilled, it is also perfect at Shalosh Seudos or a Chol HaMoed picnic.
