Vinification
For Maison Ventenac, a rosé should be: subtly fruity, fresh, fine, harmonious, lightly acidulated and pleasant tasting, for pure pleasure. This one ticks all the boxes for us! We hope it ticks all your boxes too. After harvest grapes are sorted and fully crushed with a pneumatic press. Processing of first juices under inert gas at 5°C, cold clarification and fermentation at 18°C in 300 hl stainless steel tanks. No malolactic fermentation, maturation and ageing on fine lees for 2 months.
