Listel Rose 2024

Listel Rose Pale coral in the glass and made for relaxed Mediterranean drinking, this dry Cinsault, Grenache and Merlot blend from Terres du Midi brings cherry, strawberry, peach and citrus to a crisp, satin-smooth palate with a lightly chalky edge. It is Listel's signature Grain de Gris style, backed by a story that began in the Camargue in 1883. Pour it well chilled with grilled prawns, charcuterie, roast chicken or a tomato and goat's cheese tart. Sunshine is optional, though strongly encouraged.

What the winery says:

Listel's 2024 technical sheet describes a pale coral-pink wine with fresh red fruit, peach and citrus, finishing on a subtle note. The first-run juice is separated quickly by static draining of crushed grapes to preserve its pale colour and finesse, followed by a slow, cool fermentation at 16°C. Serve between 6°C and 8°C as an aperitif or alongside grilled meats, cheese and other easy-going dishes.

What the experts say:

Cameron Douglas MS, 92 Points (2024)
“Crisp, dry and equally fruity on the palate with flavours that reflect the bouquet, super fine fruit tannins, a chalk note and floral highlights.”
