Winemaker Notes
Classic because it contains all the traditional grape varieties of Provence. Well balanced wine, with good typicity. Supple and fruity, the Quatre Tours Classic Rosé amply expresses its sunny terroir. An honest, friendly wine suitable at all times and for all occasions.
Salmon rose and sparkling wine, a fresh, light and delicate Rosé with fruity (pink grapefruit) and floral notes.

This pale wine, almost white in color, is softly textured. Ripe strawberry flavors contrast with the zesty acidity and lemon freshness. A blend of four grapes including Cabernet Sauvignon, the wine is lightly textured, touched by pepper and ready to drink.
Whether it’s playful and fun or savory and serious, most rosé today is not your grandmother’s White Zinfandel, though that category remains strong. Pink wine has recently become quite trendy, and this time around it’s commonly quite dry. Since the pigment in red wines comes from keeping fermenting juice in contact with the grape skins for an extended period, it follows that a pink wine can be made using just a brief period of skin contact—usually just a couple of days. The resulting color depends on grape variety and winemaking style, ranging from pale salmon to deep magenta.
A fantastic source of dry rosés from the usual red Rhône varieties, Coteaux d'Aix-en-Provence is a coastal, hilly region whose variations in elevations and microclimates make it ideal for viticulture. Red and a small amount of white wines, also made from Rhône grape varieties, are found here as well.
