Campuget Tradition Rose 2024

The two varieties of Syrah Grenache Ros Le Campuget Chteau de Campuget were harvested at optimal maturity and the grapes from each variety were pressed and vinified separately. Cool fermentation took place at controlled temperatures with selected yeasts to preserve the purity of fruit flavours. The Syrah Grenache Ros Chteau de Campuget wines were then artfully blended to make this cuve.

The Vineyard is situated 15 kilometres south of Nmes, near the village of Manduel, in the heart of the Appellation dOrigine Protge the Costires de Nmes. The average age of the vines is approximately 25 years. The main characteristic of the vineyard is the soil, which is formed of gress, an accumulation of rounded pebbles that have been deposited by the overflowing Rhne River thousands of years ago. These pebbles allow the vines to grow in the best possible conditions and due to this natural soil filter; the vines roots can easily draw the necessary water for their growth. The vines also benefit from the Mediterranean sunshine, which bring the grapes to perfect maturity and allows them to be picked at maximum phenolic maturity in early September.

Chteau de Campuget was established in 1942 and is a top quality estate near Nmes, which is steeped in history. The Chteau itself was built in 1753 and at the same time the first vines were planted, prompting the 1753 range of wines which mark this historic date. The fusion of tradition and progression unite in the cellars here, producing wines with integrity, finesse and a wonderful expression of terroir, from a wide range of traditional Rhne varieties. In 2019, Chteau de Campuget was certified as Haute Valeur Environmentale, which officially recognises the environmental performance of winegrowers, including biodiversity conservation, plant protection strategies, managed fertiliser use and water resource management.
