Details and technical informations about Domaine Du Riou's Tentation Rosé.
Discover the grape variety: Verdelho rouge
Light, fruity reds best drunk young, with a clear ruby colour, silky tannins and an airy palate with fresh acidity. Subtle signature aromas of red fruits (cherry, raspberry) and floral notes. Atlantic heritage profile. Now rare, it survives on small plots in Madeira and reflects the island's historic grape diversity. A black-skinned mutation of the white Verdelho, a traditional Portuguese variety from Madeira.

The wine region of Côtes-du-Rhône

Fleshy Syrah (blackcurrant, violet, black pepper), dense Mourvèdre, Cinsault and Carignan in support. In the north, racy, deep Syrah solo. Generous rosés and floral whites (Grenache Blanc, Clairette, Viognier).
The wine region of Rhone Valley
France's 2nd-largest AOC vineyard, two complementary worlds. Northern: pure Syrah in signature reds (Côte-Rôtie, Hermitage, Cornas), deep and peppery with blackberry, violet, black olive and smoked bacon notes, exceptional ageing. Opulent Viognier whites (Condrieu, apricot, flowers) and ample Marsanne-Roussanne. Southern: sun-soaked Grenache blends at Châteauneuf, Gigondas, Vacqueyras (candied fruit, garrigue).
The word of the wine: Passerillage
Concentration of the grape by drying out, under the influence of wind or sun, as opposed to botrytisation, which is the concentration obtained by the development of the "noble rot" for which Botrytis cinerea is responsible. The word is mainly used for sweet wines.
