Production Details 2016 is the maiden release of this wine, which is made in the same dry style as the roses found in Provence. Grapes were hand-picked between late January and mid-February. Upon arrival at the cellar, great care was taken to minimise the amount of colour extraction from the grapes, before settling and fermentation in stainless steel tanks using selected yeast cultures. The wine was blended and kept on the fine lees in stainless steel tanks for 9 months before being bottled in December.
