## Wine making process

The production of La Campagne Cinsault Rosé involves several key techniques aimed at preserving freshness and fruit character. Grapes are often harvested early in the morning to maintain their delicate qualities. Direct pressing is a common method used to extract juice while minimizing color extraction, contributing to the wine's pale hue. Fermentation takes place at controlled, low temperatures, typically in stainless steel tanks, which helps to retain the volatile aromatic compounds. Following fermentation, the wine is aged in stainless steel, a process that ensures the wine remains bright, fresh, and free from oak influence, allowing the pure expression of the Cinsault grape and the IGP Méditerranée terroir.
