WINE INFORMATION
With 3,000 hours of sunshine a year, an annual rainfall of 600 to 800 mm and 50 windy days per year (over 50 km/h) this Provence estate boasts an environment particularly conducive to wine growing. The cool evenings of the Haut Var (northern part of the Var) ensure slow and optimal grape ripening. The grape harvest therefore takes place later than on the coast (generally from mid-September onwards). Their rosés mature slowly, to produce well-structured, full-bodied wines that pair particularly well with contemporary cuisine.
The Ultimate Provence vineyard spans 100 acres of organically farmed grapes around the town of La Garde Freinet, about 30 minutes from Saint-Tropez. Set in wild countryside and bordered by a vast evergreen oak forest, the vineyard is characterized by shallow soil, laid on a bed of schiste. This excellent terroir is nourished with a natural compost of oak leaves and vine stalks. Ultimate Provence's contemporary, luminous bottles are inspired by the vineyard's light, bright spirit.
Ultimate Provence includes a boutique hotel with 33 rooms, a spa, fine dining restaurant, bar, tasting room and wine shop.
After harvest, a cool fermentation is followed by time with the wine on its lees before final blending and bottling.
