Rosé d’Archipel is crafted in the style of the great Rosés of Bordeaux, from
hand-picked and hand- sorted Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet
Franc fruit.
The winemaking team employs the traditional saignée method, “bleeding off”
a portion of the free run juice after only a short period of contact with the
grape skins - and separating it from the remaining fruit during the early stages
of Archipel’s blended red wine maturation.
Drink this fruity and supple wine young and chilled - like they do in France, as
a cheerful, low -alcohol warm weather wine. As you swirl it around in your
glass, you’ll get raspberry, strawberry and cherry aromas from the Merlot, a
hint of earthiness from the Cabernet Sauvignon and floral notes from the
Cabernet Franc.
Enjoy Rosé d’Archipel with appetizers like olives, aioli, tomatoes with
breadcrumbs and garlic - or alongside a ratatouille, grilled vegetables, Salade
Niçoise or Bouillabaisse.
