Winemaker
The Maestrojuan family works from its farm at Ayguetinte. Domaine Entras reflects a continuing relationship with Gascon agriculture and the varieties long grown in the area.

Wine
Entras Rosé uses Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon for a different outline from the Grenache-led rosés of Provence. Redcurrant and a little fresh leaf, with crisp acidity and a dry finish. The fruit stays delicate enough for an aperitif but has enough definition for food. Try with a Niçoise-style salad, grilled vegetables or a plate of cold chicken.

Origin
The estate is based at Ayguetinte in the Gers. Clay-limestone soils and rolling terrain sit within a climate influenced by the Atlantic. That meeting of summer warmth and cooler weather gives the Cabernet fruit both ripeness and a refreshing outline.
