Winemaker's Notes:

 With a brilliant violet tint, the 2007 Domaine de Nizas Rosé reveals an expressive bouquet mixing red berry fruits, marshmallow notes and minerality. On the palate, the ageing on the lees brings a fuller mouth feel that balances the dryness. This cuvée is a refreshingly crisp wine that embodies the Domaine’s style of finesse, elegance and complexity. This charming Languedoc Rosé wine, ripened in the warm Mediterranean sunshine, is the ideal beverage to sip whilst relaxing on a warm summer’s evening.
My Notes:

About Domaine de Nizas:

 Domaine de Nizas is the new winemaking collaboration from John Goelet and Bernard Portet, co-founders in 1972 of Clos du Val in Napa Valley, California. John Goelet is also the owner of Taltarni Vineyards (Victoria, Australia) and Clover Hill (Tasmania).

On a manually tended 200 acre vineyard, they've created handcrafted limited-production wines since 1998. Their goal is to serve as a model in terms of elegance, complexity, balance and aging ability among Mediterranean wines.
