With more than 300 days a year and mild winters, Provence<br />
benefits from a lovely Mediterranean climate that is perfect<br />
for growing grapes. Here they are most famous for their<br />
pale pink Provence rosé, but there are also great red and<br />
whites found here. With its delicate colour, wonderful<br />
freshness and light fruity flavour, it really is the perfect drink<br />
on a hot summer’s day and a must-have wine for a yacht.<br />
Rosé here is usually made from a blend of grape varieties<br />
including Syrah, Carignan, Cinsault and Grenache.<br />
Domaine Ott is the most famous producer in the region,<br />
however recently there has been a renaissance in highquality<br />
rosé so there are many other excellent producers to<br />
choose from including Château d’Esclans and Château<br />
Gassier. There is a lot of innovation happening here with<br />
winemakers experimenting with the use of oak, organic<br />
farming and biodynamics.<br />
