WINE MAKING PROCESS
Saint Sidoine rosé is produced using the direct pressing method, where red grapes are gently pressed to extract juice with a pale pink color. The resulting juice is then fermented in stainless steel vats. Following fermentation, the wine continues its maturation in stainless steel, a process designed to preserve its natural freshness, vibrant fruit characteristics, and crisp acidity. This approach ensures the wine remains light, aromatic, and true to the classic style of Côtes de Provence rosé.
