Winemaking
This rosé is a short maceration rosé. Grapes are crushed and allowed to macerate (pre-fermentation maceration) between 12 and 24 hours at 12°c. Then the first juice is selected and drained for its quality and its aromas complexity. Fermentation is made under temperature controlled at 18°c. After this, wine matures 4 months and is clarified by filtration. Quickly bottled to keep all its aromas complexity.
Tasting
