2025 Ultimate Provence UP Rosé Methusalem (6 liter)

The UP Ultimate Provence rosé is a blend of the grape varieties Grenache Noir (30%), Cinsault (30%), Syrah (30%), and Rolle Alexis Cornu (10%). The wine comes from the Côtes de Provence appellation. The Ultimate Provence terroir covers 114 hectares, of which approximately one-third are vineyards and the rest is pure nature. The vineyard is nestled in La Garde-Freinet, in the beautiful hinterland of the Var near Saint-Tropez. The estate is crisscrossed with vines and is also dotted with olive trees. Furthermore, the vines are protected by the Massif des Maures mountain range. They grow on a soil of sandstone and slate.

For this UP Ultimate Provence Rosé, the grapes are harvested during the relative coolness of the night to avoid premature fermentation and thus preserve the freshness so typical of a (good) Provence rosé. Did you know, by the way, that the UP Ultimate Provence rosé is made by the same winemakers as the famous Chateau de Berne? The UP Ultimate Provence rosé has a very seductive nose and a pale color. On the palate, the intense fruitiness of ripe red fruit such as raspberries and strawberries is supported by a light mineral freshness, enhanced by spicy notes of white pepper and light red fruit. Do not drink this rosé wine too cold; that would be a waste of this beautiful wine. Around 8-10°C is perfect.

The UP is a fresh wine with high acidity for food pairing, yet roundness to be enjoyed on its own. The spicy notes of the Syrah provide a characteristic dry, white pepper. A touch of Rolle contributes great acidity and clarity, offering notes of winter citrus, herbs, and a warming finish. Ultimate Provence rosé is a perfect wine to bring to a BBQ and serve with grilled chicken or vegetable skewers. You can also pair the wine with shellfish, salads, or seafood.

1. Salad with grilled zucchini, cherry tomatoes, feta and basil
The freshness of the vegetables and the salty character of the feta complement the fresh, fruity, and slightly spicy style of the rosé beautifully. The basil accentuates the Provençal aromas in the wine.

2. Grilled chicken breast with lemon and thyme
The subtle flavor of the chicken allows the wine to shine, while lemon and thyme accentuate the freshness and spiciness. A light dish that perfectly complements the character of the UP Rosé.

3. Pasta with roasted bell peppers, olive oil, garlic, and Parmesan cheese
The soft texture of the pasta and the roasted character of the bell pepper pair well with the ripe fruit in the wine. Garlic and cheese provide depth without overpowering.

4. Grilled salmon with a cucumber and dill salad
Salmon has enough structure to carry the fresh character of the wine. The light smoky flavor of grilled salmon complements the subtle spiciness of the wine, and the salad provides freshness and contrast.

5. Quiche with spinach, leek, and goat cheese
The creaminess of the quiche is refreshed by the acidity of the rosé. Spinach and leek add earthy, green notes that pair well with the mineral undertone of the wine, while the goat cheese provides a pleasant salty accent.

6. Shrimp with garlic, parsley, and lemon, briefly fried in olive oil
The freshness of lemon and the juicy texture of the shrimp are an excellent match for the lively acidity and citrus profile of the wine. Parsley underscores the Mediterranean character of both the dish and the rosé.
