Most of the vineyard faces due south, facing the Golden Islands. The cultivated grape varieties are the local varieties of Provence.
The TSH Rosé cuvée is a blend of Cinsault (40%), Grenache (40%), Mourvèdre (10%), Rolle (5%) and the native Tibouren (5%).

The wines of each grape variety are aged in stainless steel vats, on fine lees for 5 months, then they are blended by tasting.
