Fresh, fruity and colored... The La Vieille Ferme Rosé presents all of the elements of an attractive rosé.
The vintage

The 2025 vintage is shaping up to be a very good year. The hot, sunny summer encouraged excellent concentration in the grapes, while the cool nights preserved aromatic freshness and good acidity levels, essential for balanced wines. Despite the heat and some rain at the end of the harvest, the grapes remained remarkably healthy, with particularly concentrated fruit and controlled yields. Initial tastings reveal expressive wines with powerful aromas of ripe black fruit such as blackcurrants and blackberries, notes of rosemary, thyme, and lavender, characteristic of the garrigue. Their generous structure, driven by vibrancy, and balanced by a lovely freshness, suggests an excellent vintage.

Ageing

The harvest takes place between the last days of August and mid-September, when the grapes have reached optimal maturity. This is defined by analysis and berry tastings. Harvest takes place early in the morning to preserve the freshness of the fruit and avoid oxidisation of the aromas. As soon as the grapes arrive at the winery, they are pneumatically pressed which allows to extract the musts. Fermentation starts after settling and lasts about 15 days in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. After fermentation, the wines are kept in stainless steel vats and slightly fined before bottling.
