2023 Origines Rosé Turitelles, Domaine d`Altugnac

Pale, petal-pink and glinting with silver hues, this high-altitude rosé is all freshness and finesse. Aromas of wild strawberry, white peach and grapefruit peel mingle with hints of mountain herbs and crushed stone. On the palate, it’s crisp and elegant, balancing juicy red fruit with bright citrus and a whisper of salinity. Fine texture and mineral lift carry through to a long, graceful finish, a rosé that feels as clean as a breeze through pine and stone.

For when: the afternoon stretches lazily into evening.
Pairs with: grilled prawns, tomato salads, or anything shared outdoors.
If this wine were a place, it’d be a sunlit terrace with a cool breeze and nowhere to be.

Perched in the foothills of the Pyrenees, Domaine d’Altugnac sits at the heart of the Limoux appellation, where altitude and limestone soils bring tension and clarity to every wine. The Origines range showcases the domaine’s distinctive terroir of mountain freshness meeting Mediterranean charm. The name ‘Turitelles’ refers to the ancient marine fossils embedded in the vineyard’s chalky soils, which lend the wines their hallmark minerality. The 2023 vintage captures this character beautifully: crisp, aromatic, and effortlessly refined, a rosé born from both sun and stone.
