Organic wine - processing, Château Saint Jean lez Durance,  Pierrevert AOP, Vannades, rosé

The Les Vannades vineyard is located on the plain on the north bank of the Durance, very close to the winery. The vines grow there on alluvial land. The grapes are harvested at night with harvesting machines, as the temperatures here in September are still too high for a daytime harvest to be able to produce fresh, fearful rosé wines from the grapes. First, the grapes are squeezed very gently and gently, then subjected to a brief cold maceration in thermoregulated stainless steel tanks, during which important stabilizing enzymes are formed and the colorants from the berry skins pass into the juice. The juice is then slowly fermented in stainless steel tanks at a low temperature. The young wine then matures from the yeast for a few months and is then lightly filtered just before bottling.
