Domaine de la Bastide 2019 Figue Rose, Cotes du Rhone

Vincent and Stephanie Boyer's domaine in Visan contains great historical reference in winemaking and European feudalism. The building in which Vincent's family resides is surrounded by old Mourvèdre vines and fig and cherry trees. It is a fortified farmhouse that was built by Templar knights in the middle ages who achieved great wealth and prominence in the 12th and 13th centuries and established many farms and vineyards. The Bastide property is a historical place where Vincent and Stephanie, also a trained oenologist, carry forward the domaine with energy, innovation and focus.

This rose is a blend of 70% Grenache, 15% Syrah, and 15% Cinsault from clay and limestone rich soils. Extracted using both saignée method and gentle press. Fermented and aged in tank.
