WINE MAKING PROCESS
Fleurs de Prairie Côtes de Provence is produced using temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel tanks, a process that lasts for approximately two weeks at around 55°F (12.7°C). This technique is employed to meticulously preserve the wine's bright fruit aromas and its characteristic pale color. The wine is then aged in stainless steel, a method that ensures the purity of the fruit flavors and maintains its refreshing profile without the influence of oak. The harvest timing is carefully managed to achieve the desired balance of ripeness and acidity, contributing to the wine's overall character.
