Fresh, Fruity, and Colored

The La Vieille Ferme Rosé presents all the elements of an attractive rosé, offering a delightful combination of freshness, fruitiness, and vibrant color.

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.
• A generous structure, driven by vibrancy and balanced by a lovely freshness, suggesting an excellent vintage.

Ageing

• Harvest Timing: Between the last days of August and mid-September, when the grapes have reached optimal maturity (defined by analysis and berry tastings).
• Harvest Process: Takes place early in the morning to preserve the freshness of the fruit and avoid oxidisation of the aromas.
• Winemaking Process:
  • Grapes are pneumatically pressed upon arrival at the winery 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.
