Grape varieties: Grenache 50% + Cinsault 30% + Syrah 15% + Cabernet Sauvignon 5%

The terroir Situated inland on top of limestone hills, the vineyard enjoys ample exposure to the sun. The soil is composed of 40-50% rock, so the land is dry and, despite the presence of some extremely fertile clay deposits, yields are low.

They have 3 vineyards 500 hectares, only 1/3 is in production, so they can’t produce everything because they don't have enough space to vinify at the winery, they do use a big of large oak 2 months, only 36 hectoliters per hectare, so very small yields for a rose the wines are made biodynamically, the blend here is Grenache 35%, Cinasult and Syrah 20% and a bit of Cabernet Sauvignon. A very typical rose from this region with sea shell minerality, a very pretty bouquet floral aromas and light strawberry fruit, lots of Stone in the soils here. A fresh and zesty rose with raspberry and strawberry fruit with a firm hand of acidity and a lovely tongue tingly mineral nuance, a light creamy texture you notice the richness of the minerals through the finish along with that pretty floral nuance from the nose. Finish 40+ Excellent +
