Soil Type
The Provence wine region is in South East France. Wine has been made in this area for over 2000 years; today the best-known wines are the delicate, light rosés which account for over 50% of the production. It has a classic Mediterranean climate, mild winters and warm summers with little rain. Strong Mistral winds cool the grapes over the hot summers, allowing for perfect ripening.
