HISTORY Commanderie de Peyrassol is located in the foothills of the Massif des Maures mountain range, ten miles from the Mediterranean Sea, between Cannes and Marseille. Founded by the Knights Templar in 1204, Commanderie de Peyrassol has thrived as a sanctuary for gathering travelers, all the while holding true to its values of hospitality and conviviality. The estate consists of 1,000 hectares with 95 hectares planted to vineyards cultivated on dry, rocky clay and limestone soils. With effort from the current owner, Philippe Austury, to revitalize estate's centuries-old reputation, Peyrassol is now, more than ever, synonymous with great wines and celebrated generosity across the world.
VINEYARDS & WINEMAKING. Produced from the younger vines of the estate with some fruit purchased from neighboring grape growers to bring more complexity. This very accessible rosé is an excellent introduction to the Peyrassol style with its intense fruitiness and delicate style.
We carefully select the best terroirs, the finest grapes and share best practices with our partner winegrowers to create authentic wines that reflect the DNA of Peyrassol. We made the choice to use only 100% Organic grapes. A demanding and uncompromising sourcing allows us to offer you the best of Provence.
Harvest takes place at night to preserve acidity. On arrival at the winery, fruit is immediately destemmed and pressed in a closed tank. A 24h cold settling is followed by the alcoholic fermentation in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks. The wines age several months in stainless steel vats on the fine lees to preserve the freshness of the aroma.
TASTING NOTES Pale pink and delicate. Notes of small wild berries mingle on the nose with a hint of juniper. This spicy touch supports a palate built on liveliness reminiscent of exotic citrus fruit. The whole is harmonious, clean and refreshing.
