Vinification of Rozès White Port

The careful selection of grapes forms the basis for the outstanding quality of Rozès White Port. The grapes grow in sun-drenched vineyards that offer optimal conditions through a Mediterranean climate and nutrient-rich soils. The bush vine varieties are meticulously cultivated, allowing for perfect grape ripeness, which is achieved through manual hand-picking.

Grapes are harvested early in the morning to preserve their freshness and aromatics. They then undergo gentle processing: the berries are carefully pressed to extract only the finest juices. The vinification takes place in controlled stainless steel tanks at low temperatures to maintain pure fruit flavors and natural freshness.

After fermentation, the maturation occurs in stainless steel tanks, with the wine being briefly blended with selected grape brandies. This step is crucial for the classic port wine character and imparts liquidity and depth to the wine. Finally, the White Port ages for several months in stainless steel tanks to allow its characteristic aromas to fully develop and to achieve a harmonious structure.
