WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Rosé d'Anjou Dumnacus Vignerons 2023 is vinified using temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel vats to preserve aromatic intensity. Alcoholic fermentation may be stopped through cold treatment to retain residual sugar, contributing to a subtly sweet profile. The wine undergoes aging on fine lees for approximately four months before bottling. Harvest timing is critical, aiming for optimal ripeness to balance fruitiness and structure. The producer collective emphasizes practices respectful of the vine and fruit, aligning with their commitment to environmental conservation.
