Malesan Bordeaux Rosé

An uncomplicated Bordeaux rosé that doesn't deny its origins: light raspberry pink in the glass, fresh fruit on the palate.

Malesan is the entry-level brand of the southern French winery Castel, one of France's largest wine producers. The Bordeaux AOC designation means the grapes come from the classic Bordeaux growing region, typically Merlot and Cabernet Franc as the basis for the rosé.

In the glass: clear aromas of redcurrant and raspberry, a hint of watermelon. Light on the palate, with crisp acidity and an uncomplicated, short finish. No oak, no heaviness — a rosé to drink, not to analyze.

Best served well chilled at 8–10 °C. Pairs well with a summer salad with strawberries and goat cheese, grilled salmon, or simply as an aperitif on the patio.
