Production Details This premium rose is made in the same dry style as the roses found in Provence. Grapes were hand-picked in February and transported to the cellar in refrigerated trucks. Upon arrival at the cellar, great care was taken to minimise the degree of colour extraction from the grapes through gentle pressing, before settling and fermentation in stainless steel tanks using selected yeast cultures. The wine was blended and kept on the fine lees for 9 months before being bottled in January.
