WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Mas de la Rouvière Rouge is produced using a blend dominated by Mourvèdre, with contributions from Grenache, Cinsault, and Syrah. Grapes are harvested late and fully destemmed. Vinification involves a maceration period of approximately 15-21 days in stainless steel or truncated wooden vats. Following fermentation, the wine is aged for 18 months in old oak 'tuns' or French oak barrels. The estate employs certified organic farming practices throughout its vineyard management.
