WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Amour Rosé Chateau d'Astros is produced using traditional vinification methods, often in stainless steel vats with controlled sulphiting. Harvests are sometimes conducted at night to preserve grape freshness. The estate's viticultural practices are rooted in organic farming and sustainability. Rosés of this style are typically enjoyed young to maintain their freshness.
