A recent success story, Mirabeau was founded by an Anglo-German family moving to Provence in 2009, who set out to create a great Rosé while building a brand that people love. They have now quickly built a reputation as one of the best rosé winemakers in Provence, recognized by consumers and international critics. Approachable, the family has a strong digital and social media activity such as ‘The Wine Show’ on TV.

Blend: 60% Grenache, Syrah 25%, 15% Cinsault

Winemaking: Sourced from certified sustainable vineyard ranging from 200-300m altitude on clay and limestone soils.

Vinification: Night harvested followed by gentle direct pressing, partial cold maceration and temperature controlled fermentation. The wines are protected by inert gas from vineyard to bottling.

Pale peach colour with hints of bright apricot. A classical Côtes de Provence rosé, offering aromas of yellow peach, pear, freesias and strawberries. Layered and neat. Generous in the mouth, with a good citrus fruit dimension, yet round and harmonious. Moreish notes of cherry and raspberry make this a real crowdpleaser.

Classic will pair wonderfully with aromatic foods like aubergine lasagna, paella Valenciana or bruschettas with tapenade.

Decanter – 90 points.

An expressive nose of berry notes that, on the palate, transforms into succulent and juicy red cherries, raspberries and strawberries. The palate offers a light creaminess and silky texture with a round, crisp finish. Made from 60% Grenache, 25% Syrah and 15% Cinsault, it has complexity and drive, delivering great quality and value.

Grenache, Syrah and Cinsault make a satisfying blend in this crisp wine. It has a spicy edge along with refreshing raspberry flavors. The wine is very ready to drink.

Mirabeau’s 2020 Cotes de Provence Rose Classic is a blend of 65% Grenache, 25% Syrah and 10% Cinsault. As it has been since its inception, it’s a solid, well-made example of Provence rosé, with scents and flavors of mixed red berries, stone fruit and citrus. Medium-bodied and showing decent length on the finish, it’s a consistent, reliable option.
