Waitrose Cotes de Provence Rosé 2020

A blend of wine from two terroirs within the Provence appellation – coastal and inland.

Planted on deep and well drained gravel clay limestone soil (argilo-calcaire), their south-west exposure means vines benefit from hot days but cooler nights (helping attain better ripening and lower yields). Vines are ventilated by the 'Mistral' wind often present in the valley. The growing of grapes is carried out in a traditional manner with respect to the soil and environment. Spraying is traditional and limited and all harmful chemical treatments and products have been completely banned.

No

Yields are typically 55hl/ha and the grapes for rosé are picked at night to preserve their fresh aromas.

Classic vinification – grapes harvested and mostly direct to press – with parcellaire selection by terroir and by varietal
