Wine Description for Rosé „ATMO“ by Alône
- Colour & Appearance
- Delicate apricot with pale reflections towards the rim – a rosé that already embodies the elegance and finesse of Provence in the glass. The colour nuances suggest careful processing and a brief skin contact period.
- Nose
- Seductive and expressive: ripe peaches, raspberries and blackberries dominate the bouquet, underpinned by wild herbs and a delicate white pepper note. The aromatics are complex and inviting in equal measure – an olfactory portrait of Provençal garrigue.
- Palate
- On the palate, a fascinating interplay unfolds: spice meets fine fruit and a subtle fruit sweetness, perfectly balanced by vibrant acidity and subtle minerality with a saline note. The wine shows substance at 13.5% alcohol, yet remains refreshing and elegant – not a trace of heaviness.
- Finish
- Medium-length, juicy finish with persistent fruit and a hint of Mediterranean herbs. The saline minerality lingers and invites another sip.
- Terroir & Origin
- The vines thrive at 420 to 470 metres altitude on sandy soil – the same substrate that supports the centuries-old oak at the entrance to the winery. Extreme temperature variations between cool nights (18°C) and hot summer days (35°C) shape the grapes and create aromatic complexity whilst preserving freshness.
- Grape Variety & Vinification
- A non-vintage blend of Grenache, Cinsault and Syrah. Pascale Jourdan and Christian Ott practise natural winemaking with respectful pruning and targeted soil analysis. Each vineyard is treated individually – an approach that places the personality of the terroir front and centre.
- Food Pairing Suggestions
- This rosé practically calls for Provençal cuisine: bouillabaisse, grilled sea bream, ratatouille, tapenade and goat’s cheese. Also an excellent choice with vitello tonnato, salmon tartare or Asian dishes with lemongrass.
- Special Features
- The name „Alône“ is a clever wordplay: it refers to the small Lône river beside the winery and the English „alone“ – a symbol of the winemakers‘ independent philosophy and a tribute to the great-grandfather who, in 1896, established his vineyard alone.
