VARITIES: Grenache, Cinsault, Syrah, Mourvèdre.
CELLAR
WINEMAKING: To obtain a perfect sorting, harvesting is manual only. The grapes are transported directly to the winery where they are pressed directly. The juice extraction is slow and delicate. Fermentations, alcoholic and malolactic are made in stainless steel tanks. The bottling of the rose wine takes place in the spring after clarification.
AGEING POTENTIAL: 2 years
