It’s a well balanced wine, intense with a long aromatic finish. As a partner to all circumstances, it may accompany you from the appetizer until the cheese. Excellent on its own! To be paired with nice grilled fish, with salads and cheese. Outstanding with modern cuisine. Serve between 46°F and 50°F.

La Villa Barton is a seductive and refined Côtes de Provence that makes you feel on the French Riviera. Special care dedicated to the grapes after the picking to avoid oxidation and to preserve a light pink color – destaling of grapes – maceration period for a few hours – cold stabulation of the must - pressing - alcoholic fermentation at controlled temperature (60-65°F) – ageing on fine lies for 4 months before bottling. Two months on light toasted new acacia and French oak barrels for 20% of the wine. Low yields, hand tending, careful selection and minimal interference in the natural ripening of the grapes.
