Mas des Bressades Cuvée Tradition Rosé 2016

Style:           Rosé

Region:       AOC Costières de Nîmes

Location:     Manduel, Costières de Nîmes, Southern Rhone, France

Mas des Bressades is located just outside the small town of Manduel in the Costières de Nîmes region. It is an important source of high quality wines made up of two different tiers – vieilles vignes (old vines) and cuvée tradition. Walking a stylistic line between the decadence and complexity of fine Rone wines and the rustic charms of those from the Languedoc, the Costières de Nîmes offers wines with a unique style and profile. The Mas des Bressades wines showcase Rhone varieties with the reds comprised mainly of Granache, Syrah, Mourvèdre and Cinsault and the whites from Marsanne, Roussanne, Grenache Blanc and Viognier. These well-priced wines reflect an usual level of refinement and elegance.

The Cuvée Tradition Rosé displays a lovely red floral, wild strawberry and rose petal aromas. With underlying minerality it is bone-dry, well balanced and mouth-watering. Packed with flavour it’s just the thing to while away a lazy afternoon.
