Presentation
New in 2017, Estandon Zénith is a high-end rosé from the finest terroirs of the Côtes de Provence A.O.C. in the Vars region. It derives its fragrant, refined balance from the diversity of its terroirs.
Terroir
Estandon Zénith's elegant, rich character originates from the complementary, sunbathed terroirs of the hills of Cotignac and Flayosc. One is clay-limestone and the other is sandstone and together they create a subtle, rich marriage.
Located on the doorstep of the Verdon, in “green” Provence, the vines (most of which are over 20 years old) are today offering up their very best.

Winemaking
The grapes are mainly harvested by machine very early in the night in order to ensure that the wine has a lovely pale appearance.
A short maceration on the skins is performed before pressing. The juices are settled at low temperature. Alcoholic fermentation is temperature-controlled and malolactic fermentation is prevented.
Vinification is carried out in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats, in the traditional manner.
