2022 Clos Cibonne Côtes de Provence Rosé "Tradition", Provence, FranceABOUT THIS WINE After an early morning manual harvest, the grapes are destemmed and directly pressed. The must goes into temperature controlled stainless steel tanks, which are cooled to slow the fermentation process. After fermentation with native yeasts, the wine is racked into 100 year old foudres, where it ages biologically on the fine lees for one year sous voile, under a thin veil of fleurette.
