La Vie En Rose

La Vie En Rose

This tribute celebrates Dolly Parton and her signature love for pink, drawing a beautiful parallel to her legendary French counterpart, Edith Piaf. Piaf’s most acclaimed chanson, La Vie En Rose, literally translates to “Life in Pink”— or more fittingly, “seeing the world through rose-colored glasses”. While it is heartbreaking to lose such a beloved icon, we choose to see the world in pink, knowing that her timeless music will stay with us forever.

Whether you hum Working 9-5 or La Vie en Rose, we share with you four delicious rosés from Dubrovnik-Neretva County – three are from the Komarna Appellation, right next to the Pelješac Bridge, and one from the Dingač and Postup vineyards on the Pelješac Peninsula.

As with other bundles, this La Vie En Rose Bundle is available at a 15% discount.

• Volarević Plavac Mali Rosé La Chic! – this is one of the palest Plavac Mali rosés – the grapes are first cooled to a temperature of about 40°F, then go for a gentle press.  This rosé expresses the tender side of robust Plavac Mali with a very delicate nose with pronounced fruity aromas, including strawberry.
• Korta Katarina Plavac Mali Rosé – From vineyards in Dingač and Postup on the Pelješac Peninsula, Korta Katarina rosé is a salmon color with intense and attractive scents of red orange and wild strawberry. Its taste is lively and juicy, completely dry, and exudes freshness. Elegant and measured, expressive on the mouth and nose.
• Rizman Rusula (old name for a rose flower) – Made from Plavac Mali with up to 10% of Syrah, this is a modern, lively and sophisticated style of rosé that shows a vibrant salmon pink color. Aromas combine refined and subtle notes of red fruits with freshly baked brioche displaying delicate yeasty complexity. On the palate it is dry, beautifully balanced with an elegant creamy texture, followed by a refreshing finish.
• Terra Madre Rosé – Plavac Mali 60%, Syrah 40%. This rosé is fresh and light with a pleasant fruity aroma dominated by berries, raspberries and currants, with a few herbal tones. Plavac Mali delights the palate gently, and the flutter and light drinkability come from Syrah.

The food pairing recommendations for all of these wines include sipping the wine on its own or pairing with salads, white seafood, and light pasta dishes, as well as with lighter appetizers, such as risotto with asparagus and charcuterie.
