The vineyards are located at an altitude of 350 meters on sheltered terraces. The soil consists mainly of clay and chalk. The cuvée is composed of cinsault, grenache, syrah and rolle. Rolle is the same grape variety as the vermentino known in Italy. 10% of the wine was aged in old wooden barrels to give the wine character and creaminess.
The grapes are picked by hand in 35kg crates. The grapes are selected in the chateau and given a very mild pressing and even for the Miraval Blanc only free-flow juice is used.
The Miraval Provence Rosé is made from organically grown grapes. The wine is a blend of mainly Grenache with a small amount of Cinsault, Syrah and Rolle. The Miraval rosé is a very lively rosé with concentrated flavors. This Miraval Provence Rosé is the best rosé of the estate (the wine is made by the top notch team of Chateau Beaucastel). The light pink colored Côtes de Provence Miraval Rosé has a fresh and lively bouquet of wild strawberries, raspberries and white flowers and gives a smooth, silky mouthfeel with a fine structure, beautiful mandarin and peach nuances. The aftertaste contains fruity berry nuances. After one sip, another sip is hard to resist. Absolutely great rosé which has also been rewarded with no less than 90 parker points (year 2018).
