By.Ott Côtes de Provence Rosé 2024 from Provence is a pale, ultra‑refined dry rosé that pretty much defines modern Mediterranean drinking – all delicacy, perfume and saline freshness in a beautifully presented package. By.Ott Rosé 2024 glides out of the glass with effortless charm, feeling chic yet wonderfully smashable on a warm Adelaide afternoon.

Expect a very pale, onion‑skin/salmon hue with aromas of wild strawberry, white peach, citrus zest and redcurrant, layered with hints of rose petal, melon and a soft, herbal‑garrigue lift. The palate is light and bone‑dry, full of precise red berry and stone‑fruit flavours, a twist of pink grapefruit and a gentle, sea‑spray minerality. Fine, talc‑like phenolics give a lightly chalky, food‑friendly finish rather than any sweetness.

Food‑wise, By.Ott Côtes de Provence Rosé 2024 is spot on with prawns, grilled squid, sashimi and Niçoise salad. It also shines with mezze, Provençal vegetables, herby roast chicken, and simple pizzas or tartes flambées. Serve properly chilled, but let it warm slightly in the glass to show its full perfume.
