Pineau Des Charentes De Pradiere Rose Fortified

Pineau des Charentes originates from the Charentes region of France, a renowned area celebrated for its fortified wines. This style blends freshly pressed grape juice with Cognac eau-de-vie, a technique deeply rooted in French winemaking traditions. The region's terroir imparts a distinctive character to its wines.

This rosé fortified wine is crafted from a blend of regional grapes, emphasising its bright and aromatic profile. It offers a richer and fuller experience compared to white Pineau, combining vibrancy with complexity.

The wine is produced by blending fresh grape must with Cognac, halting fermentation to retain natural sweetness and preserve fruity aromas. A meticulous ageing process in oak barrels allows the flavours to meld and develop, creating its signature balance.

Pineau des Charentes Rosé exhibits an intense aroma of dried fruits, complemented by hints of spice. On the palate, its lush texture reveals bright fruit flavours with a touch of delicacy, culminating in a long, elegant finish. Notes of chocolate and subtle spice add to its complexity.

This wine pairs beautifully with creamy blue cheeses, or desserts featuring red fruits and chocolate. It also makes an excellent standalone aperitif.
