Avoid all temptation to classify this as a ‘celebrity’ pink wine. It has gained traction because of its association with Brad & Angelina, of course it has, but the sophistication of this offering is considerable. It’s been created to celebrate the studio at the property, which hosted Pink Floyd and AC/DC back in the day.

Note the way this wine is made – combining familiar red Cinsault and Grenache with rustic Tibouren and crisp white Rolle (also known as Vermentino in other regions).

This is an intriguing example of how a carefully made white wine element can add great character to a rosé. Fermented in so-called ‘concrete eggs’ to add depth, the Rolle brings a stunning salinity to the palate. Add to this the exceptional delicacy of the floral and citrus aromas, and the exquisite pallor of the colour, it packs a punch.

Sip it and imagine yourself on a Riviera beach. And the sun is shining.

About this Vineyard

With roots stretching back to a 13th-century monastery in the Provencal village of Correns, Chateau Miraval rocketed to global fame when Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie purchased the estate and partnered with the Perrin family of Chateauneuf-du-Pape’s Chateau de Beaucastel to produce their debut rose. that vintage sold out within hours of release, and Miraval has been one of the world’s most recognised rose brands ever since.
