Founded in 1927, Domaine Isle Saint Pierre is located on a small island in the Rhône River. It is run today by fourth generation vigneron Julien Henry. The proximity to the water provides a cooling influence that allows the wines to retain great freshness even in the far south of France, and deep well-draining sedimentary soils comprised of sand and silt. Because of the terroir and temperature, they are able to grow varietals that thrive in a Continental climate, such as Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Chardonnay and Sauvignon. In 2018, the estate received the Vignerons Développement Durable certification in recognition of their commitment to sustainable winegrowing.
This 2023 is a blend of 30% Cabernet Franc, 30% Merlot, 15% Vermentino, 5% Colombard, 5% Petit Verdot, 5% Arinarnoa, 5% Carmenere, 3% Tannat and 2% Syrah.
The sandy, silty, alluvial soils add depth and complexity to this luscious Rose, handcrafted with cold maceration and 100% free-run juice to preserve its fresh and fruity character. Aged in tank, the wine emerges as a remarkable representation of the Mediterranean tradition, an exceptional value that brings a slice of Southern France right to your table.
