Who makes it

The property includes a vaulted cellar dating to the 12th century, now used for tastings and winemaking. The estate's vineyard philosophy emphasizes careful attention to biodiversity and the natural balance of the vineyard ecosystem.

Château des Annibals is in Provence Verte, in the Var. Its vineyard holds Coteaux Varois en Provence AOP status, a regulated regional designation that places the appellation name on the bottle. The designation appears with Château des Annibals Rosé.

What they make

Cuvée des Annibals Rosé is made from 50% Grenache, 30% Cinsault and 20% Syrah. Grenache is the largest component, followed by Cinsault and Syrah, giving the wine a three grape composition within the rosé category.

Cuvée des Annibals Rosé is pale salmon pink. White peach aromas lead into lightly spiced floral notes, and the finish is persistent.
