Details
Calling lovers of Provençal wine, this is a sure-fire hit. A classic wine, with subtle garrigue notes, candied red berry fruit and a citrus undertow. Based on Grenache, this is waxy and round in the mouth, and it's hard to go wrong with this stunning pink from the region that is, let's face it, the mecca of all rosé wine.
Nestled in the heart of Provence, Domaine de Cala is a winery that marries tradition with innovation. The vineyard was purchased in 2015 by Joachim Splichal, a renowned chef with a passion for viticulture. Steeped in the sun-soaked terroir of Southern France, the vineyard's 60 hectares are home to a variety of grape types, each contributing to the unique blends that Domaine de Cala is famed for. Here, modern winemaking techniques meet age-old knowledge, resulting in wines that are complex, vibrant, and true to their roots. A visit to the winery is not just a journey through the vineyards, but a sensory experience that transports you to the sunlit hillsides of Provence. The Domaine dates back to the 14th century and is named after the Calla lily which is shaped like a chalice.

Pairing guide
With its pale peach colour and beautiful citrus kick, this elegant rosé wine from Domaine de Cala is a real treat for the palate and sure to become a brand new favourite. We reckon it’s a top pairing for simple seafood dishes - clams with butter beans and ham hock or chorizo was a real winner - and it will also pair very well with poached salmon or trout, marinated tofu, green salads and couscous or quinoa dishes. Halloumi, feta, capers and green olives will also pair brilliantly, as will fresh tomato dishes or those featuring plenty of aromatic herbs.
