Hollywood's ultimate power couple, Oscar winners, humanitarians and parents of six adorable kids, 'Brangelina' added another award to their growing mantel - only this time, the honor is for wine. Cheers to that!
The dynamic duo's 1,200-acre vineyard - The Chateau Miraval Rosé 2012 - has been ranked 84 in Wine Spectator's Top 100 Wines of the Year, making it 2012's 'Best Rosé in the world'.
Agreed, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's star status might have helped to boost its sales, but there is no denying the rich taste of the wine and even connoisseurs toast to that. Wine Spectator Managing Editor Kim Marcus calls the rosé "Refined and elegant, offering pure and concentrated flavors of dried red berry, tangerine and melon. The focused finish features flint and spice notes, with a hint of cream."
The 38-year-old actress and her 49-year-old beau partnered with Perrin family, a fifth-generation France-based winemaking family, to produce the wine under the Jolie-Pitt & Perrin brand.
“The wine was created in Château Miraval, the couple's 35-bedroom estate with adjoining 1,200-acre vineyard, which they purchased in 2012 for $60 million. The couple had vacationed at the stunning spot since 2008 with their six children, and Pitt proposed to his longtime love on the property in early 2012,” writes the US Magazine.
Perrin general manager Marc Perrin, who has worked closely with the couple to produce the wine, revealed, "[Brad and Angelina] are involved. He is very interested in wine -- he knows his wine very well... it is fantastic."
