DOMAINE TEMPIER - Rosé 2021
Domaine Tempier is located in Provence in the Bandol appellation. The estate was created in 1830 but fully revealed itself under the influence of Léonie Tempier in 1885 when she won a gold medal for her red wine made from Mourvèdre. Domaine Tempier suffered the phylloxera crisis at the beginning of the 20th century, so new grape varieties were planted. In 1941, Bandol became an Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée , one of the regulations of which was to produce wines with a minimum of 50% Mourvèdre , and aging for 18 months in barrels for red wines. Today, Domaine Tempier cultivates vines in sustainable agriculture in three municipalities and produces four wines.
The Rosé is made from Mourvèdre, Grenache, Cinsault and Carignan harvested manually. The age of the vines is on average 20 years and offers small yields. The grapes are pressed directly with few bleedings. This very beautiful Rosé de Provence has an aging potential of 5 years.
Grapes: 50% Mourvèdre, 28% Grenache, 20% Cinsault, 2% Carignan
