Notes on the Producer
Located in the heart of the Provence Verte region, on the southern sides of a valley near the La Loube Mountain, the Domain des Annibals that has been around since 1772, spreads over 30 hectares of vine (75 acres), most of which fall under the Coteaux Varois en Provence AOC. Domaine des Annibals is one of the pillar estate of the region to the point that the AOC Coteaux varois en Provence was actually signed at the winery. The exceptional terroir is composed of chalky clay soil and enjoys good sun exposure… The owners of the property, who love and respect nature, raise their crops biologically preferring organic nutrients over chemical fertilizers. The yield never exceeds 38hl per hectare for the AOC wines and 42hl per hectare for the Vins de Pays. The grapes are harvested carefully only after they reach full maturity. The wines from the domains are the result of a blend of reputable varietals that are particularly well adapted to the terroir of their Provence AOC; Cinsault and Grenache for rose wines, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Grenache for fruity reds, and Ugni blanc, and Rolle for whites. They offer powerful, yet expressive bouquets that linger in the mouth. The lively and charming roses are characterized by a slight pink hue.
