First some wine history…

Welcome, my fellow oenophiles, to the luminous lands of Provence, a region bursting with culture, delectable cuisine, and of course, tantalizing wine. As we kickstart this journey, weaving through vine-laden hills and ancient estates, it's key to dive into the deep roots of winemaking in this captivating corner of France. The tale of Provencal wine began around 600 BC when the Greeks, founders of Marseille, brought the vine to this fertile region. It's believed that these trailblazing vintners were the first to produce a wine that resembles our modern-day rosé.
