About this Wine

Vineyard
This wine is produced from Grenache grapes grown on 15 to 20-year-old vines planted on clay limestone soils in the Languedoc region, between Montpellier and Sète, near the Mediterranean coast.

Harvest
Grenache is a quite rare grape variety which gives the best of itself when it grows in arid regions. The climate in this region is hot, dry and very sunny. The yields are low (65hl/ha).

Winemaking
After a direct pressing, an extensive racking must takes place in order to obtain a very clear juice. The juice is then vinified as a white wine and fermented at low temperature (15°C). For this Grenache, there is no malolactic fermentation.

Tasting Notes
With its nice pale pink colour, it is a very well balanced wine, fresh, vivid and round, with fruity flavours.

Wines from Provence

In the South East of France, Provence can be considered the rosé capital of the world. Rosé from here is dry, refreshing, savoury and pale pink with a slight orange tint. The style is very different to those generally made in Australia.

The largest appellation here is Côtes de Provence, which accounts for nearly 75% of the total production of the Provence region and with rosé production making up 80% of that. The main grape varieties used include Carignan, Cinsaut, Grenache, Mourvèdre and Tibouren with an increase in the adoption of Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah in recent times.

The most prestigious appellation is Bandol. The vines in Bandol are planted on silicon and limestone soils which together with the warm, coastal climate is very suitable for the late ripening of the Mourvèdre grape. Wines coming out of Bandol must contain more than 50% Mourvèdre in the blend whether they are roses or reds. Reds from Bandol are just as noteworthy as their rosé counterparts. These wines are known to be powerful, spicy, structured, and age-worthy with critics such as Tom Stevenson considering these full flavoured reds to be some of the region’s best wines.
