March 3,2014

Here we are in the beginning of March and the talk of spring is all around us.

Provence Harvest

Talk of the warmer weather and the new spring fashions are at the top of the list.

With the warmer weather, Rosé wines are going to start filling the wine store shelves again.

Coming soon will be the 2013 vintage.Good news is that 2013 will be a good vintage for these dry Rosé wines from Provence.

The weather, according to the Conseil Interprofessionnel des Vins de Provence, had a spring and summer that were typical of Provence. The spring had warm days and cool nights with the rains lessened the water stress on the vines throughout the growing season. The summer also had warm days and cool nights. This combination will lead to properly matured grapes with high aromatics. The fall harvesting went with out incident. So we should expect our 2013 Rosé wines from Provence to be high quality, aromatic and delicious.
