This delightful pink wine hails from the heart of the Minervois region in Languedoc-Roussillon, southern France.

A Feast for the Senses: Tasting Notes

L'Air de Rien pours a beautiful pale pink colour, reminiscent of a summer rose petal. The first whiff on the nose reveals a symphony of delicate red fruit aromas, with hints of strawberry, raspberry, and redcurrant. Subtle floral notes like rosewater and lavender peek through, adding a touch of elegance.

On the palate, the wine is light-bodied and incredibly refreshing. The acidity is lively and balanced, perfectly complementing the juicy red fruit flavours that carry through from the nose. Hints of minerality add complexity, while the finish is clean and crisp, leaving you wanting more.

Food Pairings: A Versatile Choice for Summer Feasts

L'Air de Rien's versatility makes it a fantastic choice for a variety of summer dishes. Here are some perfect food pairings to elevate your next meal:

• Light Salads and Starters: The wine's crispness and refreshing acidity make it a natural companion for light salads with grilled chicken, goat cheese, or fresh summer fruits. It also pairs beautifully with seafood starters like seared scallops, smoked salmon, or prawn cocktails.
• Grilled Dishes:  L'Air de Rien's light body cuts through the richness of grilled meats and vegetables.  Pair it with grilled sausages, burgers, herb-marinated chicken, or grilled vegetables like peppers, aubergines, and courgettes.
• Mediterranean Cuisine:  Embrace the southern French origins of this wine by pairing it with Mediterranean-inspired dishes.  L'Air de Rien complements sun-dried tomato pasta, vegetable tagines, and meze platters featuring hummus, dolmades, and grilled halloumi cheese.
• Vegetarian Options:  Don't forget about vegetarian delights! The wine's fruitiness pairs well with vegetarian pizzas topped with sun-dried tomatoes and rocket, roasted vegetable tarts, or lentil salads.
• Cheese Platter: Round out your summer picnic or light dinner with a cheese platter. L'Air de Rien's refreshing acidity compliments creamy goat cheeses, tangy cheddars, and semi-hard cheeses like Gruyère.
