Domaine Terre de Mistral, Rosalie, Côtes de Provence 2018

<p>Terre de Mistral, named after the famous and powerful mistral wind, so ubiquitous in the area, but also from owners Nadia and Serge Davico&rsquo;s affinity to the land and Proven&ccedil;al poet, Fr&eacute;deric Mistral. Situated on the slopes of the Sainte-Victoire mountain near Rousset, just east of Aix-en-Provence, the 50ha estate produces a diverse range of wines from red, white, sparkling and ros&eacute;, in varying appellations from IGP M&eacute;diterran&eacute;e, C&ocirc;tes de Provence and C&ocirc;tes de Provence Sainte-Victoire, where Cuv&eacute;e Rosalie is made from Syrah, Grenache and Rolle (Vermentino). There&rsquo;s a tradition of naming every wine from someone in the family, and Rosalie is Serge Davico&rsquo;s grandmother! Nicolas Clerc MS: Discreet, mineral, fresh pistachio, marzipan, garrigue, thyme, oregano, pretty fruit. Creamy, solid but tense, generous and gastronomic. Extremely Mediterranean in style. Elizabeth Gabay MW: Creamy, fresh, and spicy. Good intensity of fruit and lively white peach acidity. Very attractive. Joanna Simon: A very pale peach. Fragrant, sweet, creamy peach aromas and flavours (almost like Viognier!), precise and fresh yet creamy textured, with citrus-edged length.</p>
