Vie Vite Cotes de Provence Rose, Provence, France

I discovered the rose wines of Provence while I was assisting some cruise tours in the Mediterranean. It has been almost like a ritual to buy a rose wine every time we called at a port in Southern France. I tasted "Vie Vite" 2 years ago and after that especially in summer, every time I return from a trip, I grab a bottle from duty free of Istanbul before I'm heading for home. This is one of my favorite summer dinner wine. This wine has an excellent price-quality relationship. Composed of 45% cinsault, 25% syrah, 15% grenache, 15% carignan. The price I pay is 13 Euros.
