Regional Information - La Vieille Ferme Rosé is crafted from grapes grown in the southern Rhône Valley and Provence regions; areas known for their ideal conditions for producing vibrant rosé wines. The Mediterranean climate, with warm, sunny days and cooling mistral winds, creates a perfect environment for ripening grapes while preserving freshness and acidity. The vineyards are planted in a variety of soils, including limestone, clay, and gravel, which contribute to the wine's complexity and minerality.
Vinification Details - The grapes are harvested at optimal ripeness, ensuring freshness and vibrant flavours. The wine is produced using the direct pressing method, where the grapes are gently pressed to extract the delicate pink colour. Fermentation takes place after settling and lasts about 15 days in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks. After fermentation, the wines are kept in stainless steel vats and lightly fined before canning.
