2024 Muse by Miraval Rosé, Provence

The nose of this wine smells like wet stones covered in butterscotch with fresh sliced peaches sitting on a cutting board near by. The palate is well balanced between grapefruit bitterness and stone fruit flavor with great acidity and a long, long white pepper finish.

Muse by Miraval captures the elegance and glamour that have made Provence rosé one of the world's great summer wines. Produced under the Miraval banner, the wine reflects the estate's commitment to purity, freshness and Mediterranean charm, drawing on fruit grown amongst the rolling hills and limestone terraces of southern France.

The vineyards sit beneath the warm Provençal sun where cooling breezes from the Mediterranean preserve freshness and aromatic lift. The region's limestone and clay soils contribute texture and minerality, while the long growing season allows the fruit to develop bright flavours without sacrificing balance or finesse.

The colour is a delicate pale salmon pink with brilliant silver highlights. Aromas of wild strawberry, white peach and pink grapefruit rise effortlessly from the glass, joined by notes of watermelon, rose petal and fresh herbs. The palate is crisp and energetic, delivering layers of red berries and citrus framed by refreshing acidity and a subtle mineral edge. The finish is dry, savoury and wonderfully refreshing, making it dangerously easy to pour another glass.

A natural companion for grilled Spencer Gulf prawns, tuna crudo, tomato and burrata salad, Vietnamese rice paper rolls or a platter of olives and charcuterie shared with friends in the afternoon sun. Drink over the next two to three years while its freshness and vibrancy are at their peak.
