UP Ultimate Provence 2020 France 2020

The Ultimate Provence vineyard spans 100 acres around the town of La Garde Freinet, at the northern foot of Notre Dame des Anges chapel. Set in wild countryside and bordered by a vast evergreen oak forest, the vineyard is characterized by shallow soil, laid on a waterproof subsoil sandstone slab. This excellent terroir is nourished with a natural compost of oak leaves and vine stalks.

The vineyard has a lot of sun exposure, but altitude provides cool night to ensure slow an optimal ripening. The grapes are harvested at night to maintain freshness.

Direct pressing, static decanting and fermentation between 14 and 16°C. Raised on fine lees.

A few months ageing on fine lees in tanks
