Domaine la Negly – Les Asterides
IGP Pays d’Oc
A blend of Grenache Gris (for freshness), Syrah (for flavor) and Cabernet Sauvignon (for texture), the 2018 La Negly IGP Pays d’Oc Asterides Rose is a pale flamingo hued wine. There’s a faint herbal note accenting cherry and lime flavors in this fresh, medium-bodied rosé.
Grape varieties:
Grenache Gris – Syrah – Cabernet
Vineyard:
Silty, sandy soil from the Miocene period, sea facing.
Winemaking:
This is a rosé de saignée (literally “bled off”), cold settling and alcoholic fermentation at controlled temperatures.
Aged on fine lees for 6 months.
Tasting note:
A clear and shiny robe of a pretty pastel pink.
An intense complex nose marrying perfumes of redcurrant, strawberry, banana and acidulous notes.
The palate is round, elegant, balanced and delicate, where we rediscover the aromas on the nose.
Food pairing:
This is a gastronomic rosé, structured and powerful, ideal for summer meals.
The ideal companion to a zarzuela (fish/shellfish casserole).
To be drunk within two years. Serve between 8° and 10°C.
