WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Cibonne Tentations rosé is produced using grapes from young Tibouren vines at Clos Cibonne, alongside Grenache, Cinsault, and Syrah sourced from local farmers. The fruit is harvested manually. Vinification occurs in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, with fermentation often initiated by native yeasts. Following fermentation, the wine undergoes a two-month aging period on its lees in stainless steel tanks. This approach is distinct from the more extensive barrel aging found in other Clos Cibonne cuvées, focusing instead on preserving the wine's fresh fruit characteristics.
