Summer Freshness in Blushing Wine.
This well-balanced melange of Syrah, Caladoc, Grenache and Nielluccio grapes produces a rosé wine perfect for casual summer sipping. Nielluccio grapes have been traditionally grown in Corsica and here they add structure and fruit. Caladoc is a cross between Malbec with Grenache and adds colour and body.
Domaine de la Jasse is found in the heart of the Pays d’Oc, and has been around since the 60s as a farm; but it was not until the 90s that they expanded their horizons in the direction of wine.
