[message]Description
On the cool uplands of northern Provence, at 250 to 270m, a blend of 46% Cinsault and 30% Grenache with a touch of old vine fruit from 15% Syrah and 9% Cabernet Sauvignon are grown to make the rosé. The grape varietals are harvested separately, destemmed, and then go directly into the press bladder. Maceration occurs for the next few hours. This time allows cold settling to be complete before inoculation of selected yeasts. The grape varietals are fermented separately in stainless steel tanks. After fermentation, the blending of the rosé cuvée takes place followed by two or three racking’s to ensure the new wine is crystal clear. The wine is then bottled in January.
