The wine:

Cap de Coste is produced exclusively from Cinsault grapes. Cinsault has been cultivated for hundreds of years in the area, but Cinsault has lost ground to the international grapes such as Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon. However, Cinsault is a perfect grape to make rosé wine from, as this wine certainly proves.
The Rose CAP De Coste Cinsault grapes are harvested very early in the morning and brought immediately to the wine cellar, where the stems are removed to avoid bitterness in the finished wine. There is skin contact between grapes and must for approx. 24 hours and the wine is fermented at low temperatures to preserve as much fruit as possible in the wine. The color is pink, almost salmon-coloured.
Vinification: The wine has not been aged in barrels.

Pays d'Oc wine:

Vin de Pay d'Oc is a regional designation established in 1986 by local wine producers geographically covering the Languedoc-Roussillon area, as a designation that was open to using other grapes than only those from the south of France in the wines - although to a large extent other French such as Chardonnay , Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah. The idea behind the category and the Vins de Pays d'Oc designation was to give free rein to make wines with a slightly more broadly encompassing wine style. There are requirements for the harvest yield per hectares and all Vins de Pays d'Oc must be approved by a tasting panel before it can bear the designation.
