"The beauty of Provence expresses itself in this pale pink rose with aromas of strawberry and fresh cut watermelon. Dry on the palate with flavors of berries finishing with a distinctive minerality and balanced acidity." Winemaker's Notes
The vines grow at between 200-and 500-meters altitude, where the winters are harsh and the summer extremely hot, with cooler nights. This alternation of temperatures allows the grapes to ripen slowly and gently, preserving all their aromas. The work in the vineyards has been AgriConfiancecertified since 2007. The grapes are mainly harvested by machine very early in the night in order to ensure that the wine has a lovely pale appearance. A short maceration on the skins is performed before pressing. The juices are settled at low temperature. Alcoholic fermentation is temperature-controlled and malolactic fermentation is prevented. Vinification is carried out in temperature-controlled stainless-steel vats, in the traditional manner. Pale pink hue with shades of purple and very expressive and exuberant on the nose. Deliciously tangy on the palate with fresh fruit and citrus peel aromas leading to a very elegant finish. Cinsault, Grenache and Syrah.
