Domaine Tempier Bandol rosé 2025 MAGNUM

Technical sheet written by the domaine :

The rosé is made from a selection of vineyard plots with an average age of 20 years, offering low yields that result in concentration and the expression of each grape variety, revealed in this wine with great intensity.

The presence of Mourvèdre gives it a lot of character, balance, and complexity for aging. This rosé attracts with its powerful nose of fruit and floral aromas. Its ample, round palate features fruit aromas (peach, pomegranate, etc.) with a slight hint of spices, revealing a beautiful freshness through its acidic balance.

The grapes are hand-harvested. For grape maturation, we seek a bit of freshness, acidity, and a lower degree than for reds. Harvesting takes place over four weeks, starting from the last week of August. Grapes are collected in 30 kg crates; whole bunches; sorting is done in the vineyard and at the winery. After total destemming, the juices are obtained from direct pressing and cold skin maceration to extract fruit aromas and achieve a pale color. We do very little bleeding. Then we proceed with a classic white wine vinification with temperature control. The rosés are kept for 8 months in concrete tanks before bottling.
