Appellation
Rosé is one of the major wine trends of the 21st Century so far, no longer seen as a poor substitute to reds and whites. And there’s plenty to discover in Languedoc rosé. When the temperatures heat up most wine drinkers are more likely to reach for a bottle of rosé than a hearty red. Under the circumstances, it’s hardly surprising that the Languedoc, like Provence, has an established tradition of producing excellent rosé wines. With delicate aromatic and crisp fresh fruit notes, the Little Sheep is winner every time.

Vineyard
These grapes were grown in ideal conditions with a mixture of clay, shale and gravel soils. The hot, windswept, semi-arid Mediterranean climate with its mild winters is perfectly suited to the ripening and healthy condition of the grapes while keeping all their fresh crispness thanks to the effects of altitude and of the sea which help to offset the heat of the summer.
