ORIGINS

Winery: Château Pradeaux

Region: Provence

Nestled in the south of France, Provence is a Mediterranean paradise for wine lovers. With its stunning landscapes, mild climate, and rich history, Provence as a wine region is more than just the home to refreshing holiday rosé wines. The history of winemaking in Provence dates back to the ancient Greeks, who first planted vines in the region in 600 BC. Since then, the region has become renowned for its unique terroir and its production of high-quality wines. In the 19th century, the region experienced a period of decline due to the phylloxera epidemic, but it has since recovered and is now one of the most important wine regions in France.
