La Soif des Salines is a cuvée produced in collaboration with Eric Pfifferling , from Domaine de l'Anglore located in the Rhône Valley, in Tavel . It is a blend of Bourboulenc (50%) and Aramon (50%) . After manual harvesting, sorting is carried out at the plot and then at the winery. The grapes are refrigerated overnight and then put into vats by gravity. They macerate for 4 days and are then devatted by gravity. The pressing and flow of the juices is done in concrete vats. The wine is aged in concrete vats.
Grape varieties: 50% Bourboulenc, 50% Aramon
"A rosé with character and finesse: a nose of crushed strawberry, blood orange zest, and thyme infusion. Enjoy with Provençal tapas, candied lemon hummus, or even trout sashimi."
