Aureto, Aphélie Blanc

Description
Aureto, Aphélie Blanc - The wine has a complex palate, with a nose of ripe apricot, honeydew melon, peach and the characteristic 'garrigue' note of the Luberon region. On the palate, the wine is refined and balanced, with a good balance between freshness and depth. The finish is long and persistent, with flavours of ripe yellow fruit, stimulating minerality and a hint of saltiness.

Description

Aureto

The Aureto winery in the heart of the Luberon stands for high quality, sustainable cultivation and the use of biodynamic winemaking techniques. A wide range of cuvées, of which our rosé wines stand out in particular, have won many awards in national and international competitions.Together with Hotel "Coquillade", we are among the leading culinary and gastronomic establishments in Provence.

History
Provence enthusiast Andreas Rihs took over the winery in 2006. A new era dawned when it was renamed Aureto, meaning "light breeze" in the Provençal dialect. Andreas Rihs created a unique place with the winery and its hotel "Coquillade". There you can experience the tranquillity of the beautiful landscape, the light, the sun, the hospitality and the unique southern French way of life with all your senses.

Wine is an essential element of this region, especially the rosé that so beautifully complements the southern French savoir-vivre. This collection of rosé, white and red wines is among the best Provence has to offer. From the beginning, the aim was to produce high-quality wine. The vines were tended to produce expressive grapes. A new wine cellar was also built to create an optimal working environment.

After the death of Andreas Rihs in 2018, his sons Oliver and Tobias have kept Aureto running with the aim of making it one of the leading wineries in the Luberon.
