2024 Rosé, MAÏA
Côtes de Provence, Provence, France
Riviera Whisper
Pale, polished and full of Mediterranean ease, the 2024 MAÏA Rosé feels every bit the part of a classic Provençal summer bottle, but with just enough extra depth to keep you coming back. Ripe peach, redcurrant and wild strawberry rise first, followed by citrus zest, orange peel and a soft floral lift that gives the wine real brightness and charm. The palate is smooth and dry, with juicy summer berry fruit, a touch of lychee and a clean, grippy finish that adds shape and freshness. There is plenty of sunshine here, but also that lovely Provençal restraint that keeps everything elegant, light on its feet and quietly refined.
For when: lunch turns into late afternoon, and the bottle disappears before anyone notices.
Pairs with: grilled prawns, niçoise salad, soft goat’s cheese, or simply something salty in the shade.
If this wine were a place: a pale stone terrace above the Riviera, with sea air drifting through and the light beginning to soften.
MAÏA Rosé is crafted in Provence and shaped very much in that elegant, coastal style, with freshness, pale colour and a subtle maritime edge all part of its appeal. Current references describe the wine as influenced by vineyards near the Mediterranean and handled gently in the cellar, with cool maceration, light pressing and stainless-steel fermentation helping preserve its bright fruit and clean finish.
