Domaine Val de Caire was established in 2003 when Guillaume Reynier took over a vineyard in his native Rognes in Coteaux d'Aix-en-Provence. After studying viticulture and oenology at Montpellier in the late 1980's, Guillaume spent the next decade honing his craft and growing his passion, working at multiple estates in both the vineyard and cellar. Today, Guillaume organically farms 17 hectares of vineyards — in Rognes and Lambesc — grown on clay, limestone and sandy soils. Domaine Val de Caire produces a variety of wines aged in stainless steel, used barrels and terracotta/sandstone amphora (Whites from Rolle, Grenache blanc, Ugni blanc, Sémillon, Sauvignon and Aranel. Reds from Grenache, Syrah, Carignan, Counoise, Cinsault, Cabernet Sauvignon, Caladoc, Marselan and Merlot.
Val de Caire's Rosé is a blend of 75% Grenache, 15% Syrah and 10% Cinsault fermented with 40% skin contact in stainless steel tanks. A gorgeous pale salmon pink, this rosé presents lifted aromas of bright red berry and stone fruit kissed with a touch of Mediterranean herbs. The palate is full of vibrant fruit flavors (strawberry, white peach and citrus) balanced with a vivacious acidity and crisp minerality. Delicious on its own, but versatile on the table. Enjoy with light summer salads, vegetable kebobs or grilled chicken.
