The 2024 Fontanet Rosé is a vibrant and refreshing southern French rosé that captures the easy-going charm of the Mediterranean. Crafted from traditional regional varieties and grown in sun-drenched vineyards, the wine is made in a crisp, dry style that emphasises freshness, bright fruit and drinkability. Gentle pressing and cool fermentation preserve the delicate aromatics and purity of fruit that define classic southern French rosé.
The nose reveals wild strawberry, raspberry and watermelon alongside notes of pink grapefruit, rose petal and fresh herbs. The palate is bright and lively, combining juicy red berry fruit with crisp acidity and a subtle mineral freshness. Hints of blood orange and citrus zest add complexity, while the finish is dry, clean and beautifully refreshing. The 2024 vintage showcases vibrant fruit and balance, making it an ideal warm-weather wine.
Ben’s Recommendation:
A stylish and versatile rosé that delivers excellent value and effortless drinkability. Fresh, crisp and highly food-friendly, it pairs beautifully with grilled seafood, summer salads, charcuterie, Mediterranean dishes and light poultry. Serve well chilled and enjoy over the next 2–3 years while its vibrant fruit and refreshing character are at their peak.
