Miraval Rose – A Refined Expression of Provence
A Vintage Defined by Nature
The 2023 vintage of Miraval Rose captures the soul of Provence. Despite challenging weather—frost in May, hail in July, and a cool, rainy September—the grapes matured slowly and naturally. This resulted in wines with preserved acidity, fresh aromatics, and elegant complexity. The final product is lively yet delicate, featuring a paler hue due to lower pH levels. Each sip offers tangy fruit flavours and a touch of minerality, making it exceptionally easy to drink.
Provençal Roots in Every Bottle
Miraval Rosé is crafted from vineyards near the picturesque village of Correns, nestled in the heart of Provence. This region offers an ideal microclimate for rosé winemaking. The vineyards sit 350 meters above sea level, with clay and limestone soils and dramatic day-night temperature shifts. These factors enhance flavour development and help maintain the wine’s vibrant acidity.
Traditional Techniques with a Modern Touch
The winemaking process emphasizes quality at every step. Grapes are harvested exclusively in the morning for optimal freshness. They are then double sorted to ensure purity. Cinsault, Grenache, and Rolle are gently pressed, while Syrah is partly vinified using the “saignée” method. Fermentation occurs in stainless steel vats (95%) and oak barrels (5%) with bâtonnage to enhance texture and mouthfeel.
Elegant Aromatics and a Silky Finish
Miraval Rosé reveals a stunning pale pink hue with silver reflections. The nose opens with floral elegance—hibiscus and amaryllis—layered over ripe peaches. The palate is soft and full-bodied, with juicy fruit, vibrant acidity, and a fine saline minerality. Each glass ends with a long, fresh finish that is both refined and memorable. It’s a perfect balance of freshness, flavour, and finesse.
Ideal Pairings for Any Occasion
This rosé shines as an aperitif and pairs effortlessly with salads, sushi, grilled dishes, or Mediterranean cuisine. Its versatility and balance make it a delightful companion for light meals or festive gatherings.
Grape Composition
A harmonious blend of Cinsault, Grenache, Rolle, and Syrah, each variety contributes to the wine’s complexity, balance, and signature style.
