Château Suau is a beautiful 82-acre property, located south of the village of Capian, 35 km from Bordeaux. The vineyard is located in the Cadillac Côtes de Bordeaux appellation, and encompasses 66 hectares. In 2008, Château Suau began its conversion to organic farming. Since the 2014 vintage, all products are certified Ecocert and wines are produced under the direction of Michel Rolland. The vines for this Cab based rose are planted in gravel and clay while benefiting from favorable south-south-east facing slopes and plateaus.
Not only is this wine certified organic AND vegan, but it had the benefit of having the iconic Michel Rolland working as the head oenologist for its production. Michel went with a gentle slow pressing of the Cabernet Sauvignon, with fermentation in regulated stainless steel tanks at low temperature.
From the winemaker 'Produced from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon made by pressed grapes, this 2020 rosé offers a very light color and reveals aromas of currant and blackcurrant. On the palate, it is delicious, fresh and very fruity.'
Not only did it with the Gold Medal at the Concours de Bordeaux 2021, but it received an Editor's Choice award from Wine Enthusiast who said ‘Made from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, this wine offers structure as well as red-currant fruits. It is rich and lightly spicy, with a crisp aftertaste. Drink now. Organic.’
