Established in 1967 in Arzens in the Aude, Les Vignobles Foncalieu is a union of cooperative wineries rooted in the heart of the Languedoc. Over 800 growers work everyday to bring the best from the terroirs from Languedoc- Roussillon, to produce exceptional wines. The name Foncalieu is made up of letters of villages in the region of l`Aude – Fonties de Aude, Capendu – Alzonne – Montolieu. Foncalieu are HVE certified, they advocate strongly for biodiversity. The trees and hedges around some of their vineyards provide shelter for bats, which feed on the insects that are harmful to the vines. A virtuous circle.
A pale pink in colour, this rose from the Languedoc is made with 100% Piquepoul noir to create a beautifully fresh and elegant style wine. It has an expressive nose with delicate floral aromas of cherry blossom, rose petals, and lilac, and fresh fruit notes of strawberries, peaches and even mango. The palate is wonderfully bright with summer berry flavours and fresh citrus notes of lemon and lime leaving you with a fresh crisp finish. The grapes are carefully handled in stainless steel to preserve the fresh fruity character.
