A New Wave of Rosé (continued)…
Blanc you’ll love this! The traditional Sauvignon Blanc you’d expect build to a flavour explosion with hints of berries from the addition of red fruit.
As with all the best Sauvignon Blancs, this wine comes from the famed Marlborough region where a combination of a cool yet high sunshine climate, low rainfall and free-draining, moderately fertile soil produces uniquely vivid wines.
While Sauvignon Blanc is one of the best-selling wines in the world, Sauvignon Blanc Rosé is a relatively new concept – but one we’re confident will boom this summer! Perfect for rosé and Sauvignon lovers alike, what’s not to love?!
Bieler Père et Fils As the name suggests, this is a French wine made in traditional Provence style – but by an American! This is the second appearance for Charles Bieler who lives in New York but travels across the US and France making wine with various other winemakers including The Three Thieves and also Charles Smith as ‘Charles and Charles’. However, this particular brand is rather close to his heart.
in the mid ‘90s when we developed, through unorthodox winemaking and creative marketing and selling, one of the more dynamic Rosé brands in America at the time. In 2005 there was a great opportunity to sell the winery and estate and we took it. The same year we sold Routas, we founded Bieler Père et Fils with a single-minded focus on making Rosé. We have been making wine in Provence since 1992.
So what about the wine itself? The classic, light coloured, dry Provence Rosé profile is famed, and for good reason. Bieler’s goal is find the delicate balance between floral, herbal, wild red fruit (not overly ripe), stone fruit and acid. The wine is in no way heavy or fat on the palate, but rather it has tremendous length in addition to the raspberry, cherry, peach, herbal, citrus and mineral core.
Charles Bieler
In 1992, my father, Philippe Bieler, founded Chateau Routas in Coteaux Varois—a small appellation in the middle of Provence. The winery focused on Grenache based red blends and Rosé. My sister Mira and I got involved
Light, fruity and fabulous.
