✨ wine.spec_sheet
Named after the 45th parallel north, which runs just two kilometers from the Jaboulet cellars in Tain-l'Hermitage, the Parall le 45 Ros is a vibrant tribute to the gateway of the sunny South of France. This line of latitude has historically marked the boundary where the Mediterranean climate truly begins, bringing the warmth and wind necessary to cultivate expressive Rh ne varietals. Crafted primarily from Grenache, Cinsault, and Syrah, this ros is produced using a combination of direct pressing and short maceration to capture a delicate pale pink hue and bright red-fruit aromatics. It reflects the Jaboulet family's commitment to accessible, terroir-driven wines, offering a fresh, lively, and balanced expression of the C tes du Rh ne appellation.
