The Côtes d’Azur (or French Riviera) is the Mediterranean coastline in Southeast France, bordered by Italy to the east, the regions of Occitanie to the west and the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes to the north. The leading grape varietal in the area for rosé production is Mouvèdre; however this varietal (also known as Monastrell) is known for it’s high tannins, deep, rich color profile and it’s typically higher alcohol content. The idea behind the elaboration of Lili Rose is to craft a delicate wine, lovely to sip on in the afternoon on it’s own or paired with a fresh, simple plate. The blend is comprised of Grenache, Cinsault and a touch of Syrah.
