Historically, this makes Provence France’s very first wine region. Four centuries after the Phoceans, the Romans began to settle on Provençal land, cultivating grapes there. As it expanded its Empire, Rome brought grapevines wherever it went, which is how other wine regions developed after Provence.

A BENEFICIAL CLIMATE Sunshine is the primary characteristic of the Mediterranean climate, with particularly high temperatures in the summer which may be modulated by the local topography. The summers here are dry and hot, even scorching on windless days in inland areas. Like any other Mediterranean zone, the precipitation in Provence is rare but, when it occurs, can be quite extreme. The winds are many in Provence and are an integral part of the region’s climate. The best known are the Mistral winds which are violent and very dry. These features are a boon to the vineyards, reducing the presence of parasites and naturally curbing the development of diseases among the vines, which are healthier and require less pest control treatment. More than a dozen varietals are used to make wines in Provence. Some of the recently-finished wines are them form a foundation that can be assembled based on the qualities of found in the majority of the region’s each varietal, to obtain a balanced wines, while others are more specific finished product. to certain appellations. In Provence, assemblage (blending) is In the weeks following each harvest, a very old wine-making tradition. Guide to Provence Wines | 7 GRAPEVINE CULTIVATION: PROVENÇAL TYPICITY A GOOD LOOKING VINEYARD The traditional practice of growing grapevines in “cup” formation (with the shoots divided around a central stalk like the fingers of a hand) has now almost disappeared. Trellising the vines (attached to a structure that allows for mechanical harvesting) by Cordon de Royat or Guyot cane pruning is now the dominant method. In Provence, the vines also need to be protected from the prevailing winds. This is why wine-makers choose to plant rows of grapevines in the direc- tion of the wind. 8 | Guide to Provence Wines FUTURE CHALLENGES FOR THE WINE REGION: AGRO-ENVIRONMENTAL MEASURES rovençal wine-makers have adapted how they cultivate Ptheir grapevines to the terroir and the Mediterranean climate, sha- ping the landscape into its characte- ristic form of today. That landscape includes the “restanques”, very steep hillside terraces on which plots of grapevines are planted, just as much as the region’s typical low walls and groves of trees. These elements pro- vide structure to the scenery and protect its biodiversity by providing shelter to accessory species of wild- life for example. They are some of the good practices already in place in the wine region.

Spain Navarra has been known for a long time for producing delicate while cheerful rose wines, mostly made from Grenache grapes, or its original name, Garnacha. In fact it is common in Northern Spain to go to a bar and just ask a Navarran wine, and automatically get served a glass of rose. Perhaps the main characteristic of Navarran roses is its deep, almost red, dark pink colour. This wine is not different and you will find a delicate aroma of white and blue flowers. Castillo de Eneriz has been making great wines for a long time, and although their strength are red wines, you will not be disappointed by this rose. The palate is fresh, and aromatic, perhaps a bit thin, but easy to drink. Have it on its own or with salads, white fish or chicken. 8POIN8 TS 8 Ch. Cavalier Marafince 2018, Provence. France Château Cavalier is an estate dedicated exclusively to the production of rosé in the heart of Provence on 132 hectares of contiguous vineyards in the foothills of the Massif des Maures in Vidauban, in the Var.
