Winemaker Notes:
As Invivo’s winemaker Rob Cameron describes it, “Invivo X, SJP Rosé is a gorgeous shade of blush pink in your glass, which is what will initially draw you in, but it’s the taste that will bring you back for more. The aroma profile invokes clear rosé petals and bright summer berry characters, wrapped in a minerality that makes this wine exceptionally fresh. SJP Rosé is full bodied with great complexity and elegance, delicious on its own or with a range of cuisine.”
The Invivo X, SJP Rosé grapefruit originate from a vineyard in Provence on a family estate “Vins Chevron Villette”. Invivo X, SJP Rosé is all about expressing the very best of these Provence vineyards. With years of experience and tradition in wine making (dating back to 1184) this vineyard employs cutting-edge technology and strives to be eco-friendly by running the winery almost entirely on solar energy.
Blend: 45% Cinsault, 45% Grenache, 10% Syrah
FUN FACTS
The peach-hued pink is said to offer aromas of grapefruit, crunchy apple and nectarine, with a hint of sweet raspberry.
The critics at Wine Orbit in New Zealand have already given Invivo X, SJP Rosé 94 points and 5 stars, saying
““This is instantly appealing showing grapefruit, crunchy apple and nectarine characters with a hint of sweet raspberry. The palate delivers terrific fruit intensity and vibrancy, combined with fine texture and bright acidity, finishing delightfully long and refreshing. At its best: now to 2022”
The grapes used in Invivo X, SJP come from the famous ‘Golden Triangle’, situated in the south of France and are are harvested only at night when the heat of the vineyard is at its lowest.
The latest optical technology visually assesses each berry. If it is not of optimum integrity, a micro-jet of air will remove what is deemed to be damaged or a sub-standard quality berry from the sorting process. This ensures only the cleanest, best fruit make it into this wine.
The X and the comma directly after it as the wine’s logo are an intentional and a personal touch, referencing SJP’s signature e-mail and Instagram post signoff: “X, SJ.” Sarah Jessica. Also the X on the original label was hand‑painted by SJP. As with the Sauvignon Blanc, she has taken inspiration from one of her colorways for the Rosé – this time ‘Pewter Stardust,’ which we think matches perfectly.
OUR TAKE
The Invivo X, by SJP Rosé is a good one for every upcoming summer event. Bring a bottle and you will be a hit – best served chilled. We especially enjoyed this wine after pouring it into a very chilled glass carafe. The Invivo X by SJP Rosé is a good alternative to Whispering Angel – a fruitier less dry alternative but still has that magical flair of Provence Rosé.
