Aroma: white peach, wild strawberry, pink grapefruit, rose petal

Palate: red currant, lemon zest, saline, white pepper

Ott's accessible Cotes de Provence rose, designed to extend the family's amphora-bottle profile to a wider market. Lighter than the estate cuvees, with stone fruit and citrus lift.

What it pairs with

  • Sushi
    By.Ott's saline and lemon-zest finish handles raw fish; the wine is light enough not to overpower delicate flavours.
  • Goat cheese salad
    Lactic-tangy goat cheese aligns with the rose's red-currant lift; the wine's body matches young leaf textures.
  • Charcuterie board
    Salt-and-fat cured meats meet the rose's saline depth; the wine refreshes the palate.
  • Grilled vegetable tian
    Provencal layered vegetables meet a rose with herb edge and saline finish.

History

Ott launched By.Ott in 2014 as a more accessible expression of the family's Cotes de Provence rose style, made in the signature amphora bottle but at a lower price point than the single-estate cuvees. The blend draws from multiple estates within Cotes de Provence.
