What’s hot and sought-after right this minute in the wine business? Rosé! We’ve seen the demand for Rosé steadily increase in the last five to seven years, and the rise of Rosé’s popularity is still going strong. And for good reason. The quality being produced is at the highest levels we’ve tasted, it’s versatile, food-friendly, and most of the bottles are just beautiful and look amazing on a summer tabletop.
You’ve probably seen Rosé photos flood Instagram feeds and take social media by storm. There are even hashtags specifically designated to Rosé (#yeswayrose, #rosealltheway and #roseallday, just to name a few). This doesn’t appear to be a fad or a trendy phase; it’s a movement that we believe is here to stay.
With all of this Rosé excitement in the air, we’d like to share a new arrival with you, 2016 Domaine Ott Rosé Cotes de Provence BY.OTT. It’s produced in Provence, the world leader when it comes to Rosé. We love the style created there – dry, refreshing and crisp with fruit undertones and hints of minerality.
Domaine Ott is widely considered to be at the very top of the quality hierarchy when it comes to Rosé. They produce four Rosés – Chateau de Selle, Clos Mireille, Chateau Romassan and the newest addition to their lineup – BY.OTT. BY.OTT hit the market for the first time last summer, and if you missed out on last year’s arrival, we have the newest vintage (2016) in stock for only $18.99! It’s derived from a blend that comes from Domaine Ott’s more expensive Rosés, Chateau de Selle and Clos Mireille, so the quality is definitely there. Pale peach/pink in color, it offers a nice perfumed nose of white flowers, red currant and stone fruits. It’s fresh and crisp on the palate with peaches, strawberry and raspberry intermixed with classic Provence minerality. Not only is it delicious, but you’ll be excited about the low price of $18.99! You can order your case here and join the Rosé movement.
It’s a great selection to add to your summer lineup of wines – after all, it’s the same pedigree as one of the top Rosés in the world at half the price!
