The Rosés of Provence

Spend a special Friday evening tasting true Provençal rosé
Provence rosé is the global gold standard for rosé, combining history, climate, blending tradition, and a signature dry elegance. It has an elegant style that is typically subtle rather than sweet or bold.
Provence is one of the most important rosé-producing regions in the world. Many historians consider Provence the original home of rosé production. Unlike regions where rosé is a side product, in Provence it’s the main focus — about 90% of the wine produced there is rosé.
Summer has unofficially begun and these wines are the perfect transition into warmer days and lighter foods.
Expertly guiding us through the rosés of France will be Aurélien Fiardet, owner and founder of New Wave Wine Co. They are a Portland-based
boutique importer and distributor established in 2020 and specializing in organic, sustainable, and natural wines primarily from
France. We will explore wines that represent a "new wave" of terroir-driven,, fresh Provençal styles beyond the conventional, widely
available brands.
