About the wine

This is a bright and complex macerated wine from Domaine Henri Milan whose estate is comprised of ~10 hectares outside the picturesque Provençal village St.-Rémy-de-Provence, in southern France.

Tasting Notes: Fresh meadow scrub and orange blossom on the nose moves into an equally refreshing palate whose easing acidity and pillowy tannins bespeak a wine that is balanced, delicious, and distinctly orange with little to no astringency.

Vinification: A blend of Vermentino (the principal grape in the batch), Chardonnay, Roussanne, and Muscat hand-harvested from vines grown in Clay and Limestone soils. The grapes are pressed with the skins in contact with the juice that begins spontaneous fermentation thanks only to native yeasts. Maceration lasts for 20 days in a concrete tank. The juice is then transferred to a fiberglass tank where it ages for one year. Unfined, unfiltered, no additional SO2.

The Producer: Domaine Henri Milan

Henri Milan believes that making great wine is actually quite simple, emphasizing the importance of balance and harmony. He sees winemaking as an accompaniment to what the vine provides, rather than a technical process. Domaine Milan, founded by Henri's father in the 1950s, is located in the beautiful Alpilles mountains of Provençe. The estate transitioned to organic practices under Henri's leadership in the late '80s, making them pioneers in the region's move towards natural wine. With the help of his son and daughter, Henri produces some of the most delicious Provençal wines available. We are thrilled to offer you this exceptional deep rosé, which has become a perennial favorite for us.
