Presentation
Océana Rouge Clair is the perfect embodiment of the spirit of the great ocean beaches: free, refreshing and convivial. With its light red colour and rich aromas of red fruits, it is delightfully light and balanced. Young and modern, it is the ideal aperitif or accompaniment to a summer meal. It's a trendy wine, easy to drink and perfect for prolonging the atmosphere of beautiful days by the sea.
The vintage
The weather in 2024 was extreme, with heavy rainfall, lack of sunshine and cool temperatures, making the fight against vine diseases particularly difficult. After a somewhat difficult flowering period with some coulure, a more favourable period in August allowed the grapes to change colour evenly, followed by a rapid harvest in September to preserve the quality of the grapes. This vintage marks a return to normal harvest dates.

Tasting
A lovely light ruby-red colour, with excellent brilliance and remarkable clarity.
Both intense and fresh, the nose reveals notes of red fruit, dominated by strawberry and redcurrant.
On the palate, the supple attack blossoms into a delicate roundness in the mid-palate, supported by a light, perfectly balanced tannic structure. Its thirst-quenching freshness and great drinkability make it a convivial wine that can be enjoyed immediately.
