ABOUT THIS WINE
Minuty Prestige Rouge is a red wine from the AOP Côtes de Provence, produced by Château Minuty, a family estate with a history dating back to 1936. Situated on the Saint-Tropez peninsula, the estate focuses on artisanal know-how and respect for the land. The 2020 vintage was influenced by a warm winter and a subsequent frost, which led to reduced yields but concentrated grape berries. The wine is a blend primarily featuring Syrah, alongside Mourvèdre, Grenache, and Cinsault, reflecting the unique terroir of Provence.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
The production of Minuty Prestige Rouge involves malolactic fermentation followed by partial aging in French oak barrels. Fermentation temperatures are controlled, and light extraction is used to preserve fresh, fruity aromas. The grapes are selected from specific plots on the estate's terroirs. The 2020 vintage was characterized by low yields and concentrated berries due to challenging weather conditions.
