About Hampton Water 2021 Rose, Languedoc-Roussillon
Jesse Bongiovi, son of legendary rocker Jon Bon Jovi is the man who along with his partner Ali Thomas created a brand that's exploded onto the wine scene, Hampton Water Rose. One good reason for their success is that it is produced by the highly acclaimed winemaker and proprietor of outstanding vineyard estates in the South of France, Gerard Bertrand.
It's a blend of Grenache 60%, Cinsault 15%, Mourvèdre 15% and Syrah 10%. The grape varieties were harvested separately when each of them was just at the right level of ripeness. Bertrand selected the best plots to create this wine. The grapes were de-stemmed, cooled down to 47°F and transferred to the press to extract the rosé wine must. Particular attention was paid to the pressing to ensure that only the first, highest-quality juice was kept. The juice is then left to settle according to the precise aromatic profile that was targeted. Fermentation lasted between 15 and 30 days. Finally, after light fining, the wine was bottled early to preserve the fresh, fruity character of the grapes.
Wine Review Online scored this 91 points saying "This wine is popular thanks to more than its celebrity affiliations (It is a collaboration of Jon Bon Jovi, his son Jesse Bongiovi, and Gerard Bertrand). It is genuinely tasty stuff, with forward aromas and flavors of nectarine and strawberry that get a boost from notes of pepper and citrus zest. It all lingers nicely in the mouth while finishing cleanly with a floral retronasal impression. It is ready for the end of summer into fall, where you will enjoy it while squeezing every last drop of pleasure from the warm season. It contains 60% Grenache, 15% Cinsault, 15% Mourvedre and 10% Syrah."
