## About this wine

De Mont Coteaux Varois en Provence Rosé is an organically produced wine from the heart of Provence, France. Located around Brignoles, the vineyards sit at higher elevations between 350 and 500 meters on limestone and clay-limestone soils, sheltered by the Sainte-Baume and Bessillons mountain ranges. The region benefits from a continental-influenced Mediterranean climate with pronounced day-to-night temperature variations. This AOC Coteaux Varois en Provence rosé offers an environmentally conscious expression of traditional Mediterranean grape varieties cultivated in a cooler high-altitude terroir.

## Interesting facts

## Food pairing

The crisp acidity and light-to-medium structure of this Provençal rosé complement delicate proteins like shellfish and poultry without overpowering them. The wine's vibrant profile cuts cleanly through goat cheese and light oil bases, creating a harmonious balance.

## Wine making process

The grapes are grown using certified organic viticulture practices. Following harvest, winemaking involves direct pressing or short maceration to extract a delicate pale color. Fermentation takes place under strict temperature control in stainless steel vats to preserve purity and freshness. The wine undergoes no oak aging, remaining in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks until bottling to maintain its vibrant natural profile.
