Domaine de Cantalauze, O de Cantalauze, IGP Cité de Carcassonne, Rosé, 2025

Gentle bleeding off of the juices after a limited contact time with the
skins is the secret behind the concentrated fruit. Fresh ,
with flavors of wild strawberries, this is a generous rosé, loaded with
wonderful intermingled flavors of pears and white peaches and graced
by hints of spring flowers and light spices. It’s lush on the palate, with a
long harmonious finish.

Because the vineyards are located in-between the Pyrenees to the South
and the Black Mountains to the North, it enjoys a privileged climatic
position where the excesses of the Mediterranean climate are tempered
by the softness of the Atlantic influences. This extraordinary mixture -
where the days are sunny and warm, where the wind blows almost
continuously and where the nights are cool, gives Cantalauze wines a
particular charm.

Mechanical harvest. Traditional vinification in stainless vats with
careful temperature control allowing us to protect the natural fruit
flavors, typical of this variety. Direct pressing and stalk removal at 5°C.
