Domaine de la Courtade Alycastre Rosé 2025 | Organic

Delicate in colour but not short on personality, Alycastre is a beautifully composed island rosé with a distinctly maritime feel. Wild strawberry, white peach and redcurrant sit alongside pink grapefruit and citrus blossom, while a whisper of Mediterranean herbs adds a more savoury dimension. The palate is supple and gently textured rather than simply crisp, with ripe summer fruit drawn out by refreshing acidity and a subtle saline quality. Citrus peel and mineral notes take over on the finish, leaving it dry, clean and quietly persistent.

Alycastre is produced by Domaine de la Courtade on the Île de Porquerolles, the tiny Mediterranean island just off the Provençal coast. Organic vineyards surrounded by the sea benefit from cooling maritime breezes, helping retain freshness despite the abundant southern sunshine. Alycastre represents the estate's accessible expression of this distinctive island terroir, balancing the effortless charm expected of Provence rosé with enough texture, salinity and herbal detail to give it a genuine sense of place.
