WINE DESCRIPTION
Located in the Var hinterland at an altitude of 300 meters, this vineyard benefits from clay limestone soils and cooler nights, allowing for a late harvest. The grapes are harvested mechanically overnight, ensuring freshness as they are quickly transported to the winery. Skin maceration is brief: 3 to 6 hours for Grenache and only 1 hour for Syrah. The juice settles cold for 48 to 72 hours before alcoholic fermentation begins at 14°C, later maintained between 16 and 18°C for 10 days. Aged on fine lees in stainless steel and concrete tanks for 2 months, the wine is racked and filtered by late December. Blending occurs in early January, and the wine is ready for tasting by mid-February.

ORIGINS
Winery: Saint Mitre
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.CUSTOMER RATING
