Maison Saint Aix Rosé 2023 15L

Provence, the birthplace of rosé, provides the perfect setting for Maison Saint Aix’s vineyards, where Grenache, Syrah, and Cinsault grapes flourish in the region’s ideal growing conditions. The mineral-rich soils, abundant sunshine, and cooling Mistral winds create an environment where these classic Provençal varietals thrive. Maison Saint Aix’s vineyards, located at 420 meters above sea level, are among the highest in the AOP Coteaux d'Aix-en-Provence appellation. This elevation not only contributes to the purity and freshness of the grapes but also enhances the effect of the Mistral, which helps dry the vines and reduce the risk of disease.

In recent years, the estate has been revitalised, with a complete overhaul of both the vineyards and winemaking facilities. State-of-the-art equipment, including temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks and next-generation harvesting technology, ensures that the estate produces rosé of the highest quality. The 50 to 60-year-old Grenache vines provide a rich, concentrated juice, while younger vines bring a lively freshness to the blend. To maintain the estate's balance with nature, a replanting schedule is followed, ensuring that the land remains healthy and productive for future vintages.

Harvest at Maison Saint Aix begins in early September, with a flurry of activity from dawn to noon to ensure the grapes are picked at peak freshness. The result is a rosé with Maison Saint Aix’s signature pale colour, delicate aromas, balanced acidity, and impressive length—an expression of the timeless beauty of Provence.
