Region
The Languedoc is a vast region stretching across much of the south and Mediterranean with large volume of IGP wine within the distinct areas of l`Aude, Gard and Hérault and also well known appellations such as Minervois, Corbières, Pic Saint Loup and Fitou. It’s history dates back to the Greeks and Romans as well as monastaries in the Middle Ages. The Languedoc experiences Mediterranean climate with high levels of sunshine and warmth with low rainfall which are all favourable for grape growing. A wide range of grape varieties are grown including Syrah, Grenache and Carignan and the local variety piquepoul making a range of styles of red, white and rosé wines.
Producer
Established in 1967 in Arzens in the Aude, Les Vignobles Foncalieu is a union of cooperative wineries rooted in the heart of the Languedoc. Over 800 growers work everyday to bring the best from the terroirs from Languedoc- Roussillon, to produce exceptional wines. The name Foncalieu is made up of letters of villages in the region of l`Aude - Fonties de Aude, Capendu - Alzonne - Montolieu. Foncalieu are HVE certified, they advocate strongly for biodiversity. The trees and hedges around some of their vineyards provide shelter for bats, which feed on the insects that are harmful to the vines. A virtuous circle.
Tasting Notes
This Languedoc Rosé is a delightful expression of fresh red summer fruits, which immediately transport you to the South of France. The wine is made protectively with fermentation taking place in steel to preserve the fresh aromas and flavours of Carignan. The result is a rosé with a soft pink colour with an intense bouquet of wild strawberry, redcurrant and raspberry along with lovely floral notes of lilac, violet and primrose. Fruity and fresh on the palate with accompanied by notes of garrigue, mint and pepper. A perfect summer wine, easy-drinking and very fresh.
Food
Drinks beautifully as an aperitif but also serves well with mediterranean dishes, salads and barbecues.
