Originally created in 1908, La Ferme Rouge (The Red Farm) became a full winemaking facility in 1933 under French influence, with the building of a cellar and the production of its first vintage. In an effort to modernize the farm and improve the quality of the wines, extensive work took place in 1998, including renovation of the cellars around the existing concrete vats, addition of composts rich in organic matter to revive the soil, elimination of untimely plowing to bring back microfauna to the vineyards, revival of old plots, planting of new grape varieties suited to the soil and climate, and creation of basins to retain the rainwaters. But it’s only in 2009 that the old estate was brought back to life by Jacques Poulain. Made from 100% Cinsault from 40 year old vines, this rosé is Provence by way of Morocco – delicate and dry with notes of strawberry and spice with underlying minerality.
