WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for Fleurs de Prairie Côtes de Provence Rosé begins with grapes harvested at peak ripeness in the early morning. The grapes are immediately crushed and chilled before yeast inoculation. Fermentation takes place slowly over two weeks at approximately 55°F (13°C). A critical aspect of the vinification is maintaining a near-zero oxygen environment throughout the process to preserve the wine's color and fruit aromas. The wine is typically enjoyed young to best express its fresh characteristics.
