Overview

A blend of Grenache with about 10% Mourvèdre, Les Traverses Rosé comes from younger vines between 20-40 years old planted on gravelly clay-limestone soils at an elevation of 250 meters above sea level. Hand-harvested, the whole clusters are pressed gently and slowly to extract the pale color, followed by an indigenous fermentation in concrete. After only a few months of aging in a 30hl concrete tank, the wine is released early the following year.
