Château l'Escarelle

Le Pacha Rosé Coteaux Varois en Provence AOP

    • Description :

      This wine is named with a nod to the Butterfly Garden created on the estate by the Itancia Endowment Fund. The Pacha (the Foxy Emperor in English) is a rare butterfly found in Provence, including on the Escarelle estate. This signature butterfly appears on the label of this wine.
      The grapes are harvested in the early hours of the morning to obtain wine of an attractively pale color. Vinification is performed in the traditional fashion in stainless steel vats with a short period of skin maceration. Fermentation is temperature-controlled, and malolactic fermentation is avoided to retain those crisp, fresh aromas.

      60% Syrah, 40% Grenache

      Tasting notes :
