Dominique Portet Fontaine Rosé

Blend: 50% Merlot, 40% Shiraz and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon. The fruit is picked by hand before gently crushing and pressing. Then it’s fermented in stainless steel tanks for essential freshness and to accentuate its attractive aromas.  The lees are stirred regularly to give the wine a soft texture and to add creamy complexity.

The wine is a pretty, light salmon pink in colour. It shows floral perfume and sweet, pretty red fruits on the nose, as well as a slight pepperiness. Merlot and Shiraz combine to give the palate a spicy red-berry intensity, while the Cabernet adds a suggestion of blackberries. It has a gentle, creamy mouthfeel, and fine natural acidity draws out the palate to a pleasing, aromatic finish.
