Studio Rosé by Chateau Miraval 2022

THE FRENCH RIVIERA

Created in homage to the recording studio where Pink Floyd recorded 'the Wall', this wine symbolizes the spirit of the Art of Living around the Mediterranean.

THE VINTAGE

The winter was dry and mild, followed by a wet and cold spring with a few episodes of frost, causing some damage. Despite this, flowering went perfectly but with a limited quantity (-50% compared to the average). The hot and dry summer helped to preserve the perfect sanitary condition of the vines, with regular tillage to maintain freshness. Rather early, the harvest took place in very good conditions between September 9 and October 1. In the cellar, the excellent quality of the grapes made it possible to carry out vinifications with very little intervention. The wines promise to be magnificent, with good acidity, lots of minerality and delicious citrus notes.

TERROIR

Studio by Miraval is strongly influenced by the sea spray and the proximity of the Mediterranean Sea. These saline soils give the wine a unique character and an almost salty finish.

BREEDING

All the grape varieties are vinified by direct pressing. Cinsault and Tibouren in stainless steel vats. The Grenache & Rolle are partially vinified in tulip-shaped concrete vats with a domed bottom. This ovoid shape generates a natural movement of convection which puts the lees in suspension and resembles stirring. This results in wines with a particular flesh.

TASTING

Delicate limpid and brilliant dress, of a very pale pink. With its seductive floral aromas, the nose immediately transports us to the Provençal maquis. On the palate, this wine is ample and generous with fruity aromas of citrus, grapefruit and fig, perfectly balanced by a nice mineral structure. The finish is all in length with a hint of bitterness that offers an irresistible iodized and lemony character. A real explosion of flavors all in elegance.
