Organic/Bio Since the 2001 vintage first appeared in the store years ago, Dragon Rosé has been a consistent customer and staff favorite year after year. The Lienard family tends about 50 acres of vines in Provence and makes this from Cinsault, Syrah, Grenache, and Syrah. These grapes are grown specifically for rosé on the limestone terraces rising above the Côte d’Azur and are harvested at the perfect balance of fresh fruit and juicy acidity. Once in the winery, they are lightly crushed and allowed to pick up a just right touch of pink color and red berry flavor before pressing and finishing fermentation in cool stainless steel tanks.
The 2023 edition is one of the best we’ve tasted in years, perfectly balancing the deep ripeness of recent years with a zesty, freshening, acidity and fully dry finish. Aromas and flavors of crushed raspberry and fresh strawberry gain complexity from a nice dash of Provencal herb, a dusting of orange zest, and a wisp of sweet spice. Starts tangy, broadens with nice richness, and then finishes crisp, refreshing, and dry with tart red berry and tangerine pith lingering. This is what the pink wines of Provence are all about!
For You If: You just love dry Provençal pink wine that is light and refreshing enough for solo sipping and has the texture and depth of flavor to shine with all kinds of food; you’re after a rosé to enjoy now and right through next summer, too.
Not for You If: You’re after the richer, heavier, rosé wines of places like Tavel, Bandol or much of Spain – this is light, crisp, and very supple.
