Domaine Fredavelle is a family run vineyard managed by business partners David Ravel and Olivia Menigoz. Located in the heart of Provence in Southern France, the vineyards span 23 hectares in the famous AOP area of Côteaux d’Aix-en-Provence in the small village of Eguilles. The climate is Mediterranean with long, dry summers and a mistral wind that blows down the Rhône. The name Fredavelle is the name of the land where David built the first structure for vinification. David and Olivia’s vision is to restructure the vineyards—replace very old vines, plant new grape varieties, increase production area and invest in upgrading production equipment to conform to organic practices. Already HVE certified, the winery underwent a conversion to organic farming that was fully realised in 2022 with the introduction of their 2021 vintage wines.
Tasting Notes
This is a delightful organic rosé made protectively to preserve the lovely fresh fruit and it shows in the final wine being clean and crisp. The nose is bursting with notes of fresh summer fruit and roses, with a delightful complexity from more herbaceous notes of the garrigue. The palate continues this expressive nature with flavours of fresh raspberries mixed with juicy apricot.
