Château Henri Bonnaud - Steff Rosé 2021
Château Henri Bonnaud is located in Tholonet, in the appellation of Palette in Provence . The property belonged to Henri Bonnaud, the grandfather of winemaker Stéphane Spitzglous , and was then a polyculture farm. In 1996, the grandfather finally accepts that Stéphane takes over despite the difficulty of the work of a farmer. After several years of hard work to create his vineyard, he vinified his first vintage in 2004. From 2010, he made the choice of certified organic farming since 2013. His philosophy is also to extend this work in the cellar, respecting the material. first, by limiting inputs, preferring products of natural origin in order to preserve the specificity of each terroir and each grape variety. The estate extends over 14 hectares in AOC Palette. The other plots (about 10 hectares) are classified as Côtes de Provence Sainte-Victoire, Côtes de Provence and IGP Méditerranée.
Steff Rosé is a blend of Syrah and Grenache . The harvest is destemmed and then macerated for 6 to 8 hours. The grapes are then pressed and then vinified in stainless steel vats.
Grapes: Syrah, Grenache
