WINE MAKING PROCESS
The production of Quatre Tours Aix en Provence Rosé involves a short maceration period for the red grape varieties, allowing for the extraction of color and flavor while maintaining a pale hue. Fermentation is carried out in stainless steel tanks at controlled, cool temperatures to preserve the wine's freshness and aromatic profile. Following fermentation, the wine is typically aged briefly on fine lees. Harvests are often conducted in the early morning to ensure grape quality and freshness. Some cuvées may incorporate organic and sustainable farming practices, reflecting a commitment to environmental stewardship.
