Miraval Studio Rosé
Description
Introduce your palate to the exquisite Miraval Studio Rosé 2023, a captivating wine crafted from a harmonious blend of Cinsault, Grenache, Rolle, and Tibouren. Hailing from the picturesque Côtes de Provence, where the vineyards kiss the warm breezes of the Mediterranean, this rosé is a celebration of the region’s rich terroir.
Tasting Notes:
- Appearance: A delicate, pale pink hue that captures the eye.
- Aroma: A refined bouquet of lifted floral aromas, blood orange, and fresh red currants, complemented by a subtle hint of minerality and wet stone freshness.
- Palate: Full and vibrant, featuring bright flavors of blood orange and redcurrant, with a lively acidity that provides balance and poise.
- Finish: A crisp, lingering aftertaste marked by bright citrus zest and a refreshing bitterness.
The 2023 vintage stands out for its contrasts that demanded precise vineyard management throughout the growing season. Following a dry winter, a wet spring with hail affected some yield, yet the quality of the grapes remained exceptional. The harvest commenced early on September 6th, with careful vinification techniques employed. Each grape variety was meticulously pressed and fermented in distinct vessels to enhance flavor complexity and texture.
To enjoy the exceptional character of this rosé, serving suggestions include:
- Chill to 10-12°C and serve in large, clear balloon glasses to fully showcase the wine's elegant color and aromas.
- Enhance the experience with a garnish of pink grapefruit peel or a sprig of fresh rosemary.
- Pair with lightly grilled Mediterranean vegetable skewers brushed with herbed olive oil to underline the wine's freshness.
- Construct a summery charcuterie board featuring mild goat cheese, marinated olives, and thinly sliced serrano ham, allowing the rosé to cut through the savory flavors.
- For a creative dessert, poach peaches in the rosé and serve chilled with mascarpone.
- Mix with a splash of elderflower liqueur and sparkling water for a delightful cocktail served over crushed ice.
Perfect for alfresco dinners, sunset toasts, and garden parties, the Miraval Studio Rosé 2023 embodies the essence of the Provence region and is best enjoyed within two years of its vintage for optimal freshness. Embrace this versatile and lively wine as it effortlessly complements light seasonal fare.

Storage advice
For storing Rosé Wine in a 150cl bottle the following practical recommendations optimize quality and shelf life:
- Temperature: Keep between 50°F and 55°F (10°C–13°C) avoiding fluctuations to prevent premature aging or spoilage. Consistency is essential; avoid temperatures above 70°F or below 45°F.
- Light Exposure: Store in a dark place away from direct sunlight and fluorescent or UV lights which can degrade aroma and flavor compounds.
- Sealing: Ensure the cork remains moist to prevent shrinkage and air ingress. Proper humidity (50%-70%) helps maintain cork integrity. Use original cork for unopened bottles; after opening re-cork tightly or use a vacuum wine stopper to minimize oxidation.
- Bottle Position: Store horizontally to keep the cork moist preventing it from drying out and allowing air leaks.
- Humidity: Maintain 50%-70% relative humidity. Use a humidifier in dry conditions and a dehumidifier in excessively damp environments to avoid mold or label damage.
- Additional Tips Specific to Rosé: Avoid shaking the bottle to prevent oxidation. Since rosé is generally not for long aging consume within about two years of vintage for best quality.
- Opened Bottle Storage: After opening reseal tightly and keep refrigerated at about 45°F (7°C) to slow oxidation and preserve freshness. Consume within a few days.
These guidelines help preserve the freshness and intended character of rosé in both unopened and opened states.
