Tămâioasă Roză, synonymous of Muscat Rouge de Frontignan. It comes from the same family as Tămâioasă Românească.
The Domain disposes of 14 ha of this grape, of which 1.5 ha represent the original vineyard, more than 100 years old. From this surface, there were sampled grafting buds and a new vineyard was created, of 12.5 ha. The pruning type is single Guyot.
A grape that was saved from extinction after the renaissance of the vineyard Segarcea, in 2002, has managed to to find its international recognition in just a few years of existence on the market, by winning the gold medal in Challenge International du Vin Competition, Bordeaux 2012. The success is all the more remarcable as the jury, obviously more enclined towards dry wines, has considered this semi-sweet to be worthy of the highest distinction. The particular flavors of ripen peach, white apricot and red forest fruits make up a delicate but strong bouquet. The taste displays the same flavors but the finish lingers on rose petals and comfiture.
The grapes, after reaching a ripening level of 256 g. of sugar/ liter, were handpicked and destemmed.
The richness of flavor lies in the berry skin and that is why, in order to extract it, the grapes have undergone skincontact maceration for 24 hours, at a temperature of 8ºC – 10ºC. The color was also extracted through maceration. It then followed gentle pressing and the juice obtained fermented for 30 days, in stainless steel tanks with controlled temperature, between 15ºC and 18ºC. In order to maintain residual sugar, fermentation was stopped by filtration.
