Studio By Miraval 2020

Elegance and vivacity, a tribute to the Mediterranean way of life

The estate

Since ancient times, Château Miraval has been the home of many great men. Thomas Aquinas, the Prince of Naples and also Jacques Loussier have lived within its pastel pink walls. In 1970, this famous French jazz pianist revolutionised Château Miraval: installing a recording studio where all the greatest rock legends were invited. In 2008, this magical place conquered the hearts of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt who decided to buy the estate. Château Miraval underwent renovation to modernise the estate. Reaching the pinnacle of excellence, the couple successfully elevated Château Miraval's reputation, considered as one of the finest Provence wines.

The vineyard

Located in the heart of the Var, the illustrious Château Miraval benefits from an exceptional terroir in Correns, the first organic village in France. With a climate influenced by the Mediterranean sea spray, a terroir composed of saline soils and plots surrounded by olive trees, Studio by Miraval 2020 is a wine with a unique character and a somewhat iodine finish.

The wine

Created as a tribute to the recording studio where Pink Floyd recorded "The Wall", this wine symbolises the spirit of the Mediterranean way of life.

The vintage

The mild winter led to the vine’s early budburst. This was followed by a wet and cold spring with two episodes of frost causing some damage to the young shoots. Fortunately, the rest of the flowering period took place in the best conditions and the hot, dry summer kept the vines in a perfect and healthy condition. The harvest was early, starting on September 9th and lasting about ten days.

Vinification and ageing

The very high quality of the grapes harvested led to a vinification process which required very low intervention. Following the harvest, all the grape varieties are vinified by direct pressing. The Cinsault and Tibouren varieties are then fermented in stainless steel vats, while the Grenache and Rolle grapes are vinified in concrete tulip-shaped vats with a rounded bottom in order to achieve a natural convection process that suspends the lees, and thus replaces stirring. The result is wines with a distinctive fleshiness.

The blend

Studio Rosé By Miraval 2020, produced within the IGP Mediterranee, is a blend of Cinsault, Grenache, Rolle and Tibouren.
