Val Joanis Luberon Tradition Rosé

Winemaker Château Val Joanis on the winery

“We are Château Val Joanis, located in the heart of the Luberon Regional Natural Park, in the southern Rhône Valley. Our estate is set in a varied landscape of vineyards, woodland and olive groves. The vineyards lie at elevations of 200 to 400 metres and encompass several terroirs, from clay-limestone soils to stony ground with rounded pebbles. This diversity allows us to select and blend grape varieties from different plots with care. Through our wines, we aim to express the sunny character of southern France while preserving freshness and elegance.”

And on Rhône, France

“Our Tradition Rosé comes from the Luberon appellation, where Mediterranean sunshine helps the grapes ripen, while the higher-altitude vineyards help preserve freshness. We blend Grenache, Syrah and Rolle, also known as Vermentino, to create a rosé that combines fruit with lively freshness. The grapes are pressed directly and undergo a cold pre-fermentation maceration, allowing us to develop the wine’s fruity character with care. It has a pale pink colour, with aromas of redcurrant, wild strawberry and pink grapefruit. The palate is fresh and lively, with a subtle touch of spice and a pleasing balance between fruit and acidity.”
