In spite of the much needed rain @sainterose over the past few days, we have been busy bottling two of our oak-aged wines from the 2022 vintage, especially for our friends at @nakedwines ! #sainterose #nakedwines #languedoc #roussanne #syrah

As we celebrate Sainte Rose Day at the Domaine, we will be raising a glass to our amazing team & to all of our valued customers for continuing to share our story whilst enjoying the fruits of our labour. Santé! @sainterosewine Read our latest news here: bit.ly/DSRHarvest23

Meticulously tilled vineyards @sainterosewine, showing our side-hoe at work controlling the weeds between each vine. Under the vibrant canopy the first tiny bunches of Chardonay are forming! #hautvaleurenvironmental #sustainability #sainterose #vineyard #chardonnay #paysdocigp

Happy bees enjoying the flowers specially cultivated for them in one of our fallow vineyards @sainterosewine

WOW! What an event for International Women's Day. 60 of you came together to network, inspire each other and hear from the truly brilliant Ruth from @simpsonwine. As she quite rightly declared "Let's raise a glass to raise each other up". We hope you all enjoyed the event

Bottled today @sainterosewine, a little late for Valentine's Day, but perfect for the spring/summer months ahead!

Beautiful, if breezy days yesterday and today for planting @sainterosewine. Chardonnay in the clay/limestone soils beside the Chateau and Grenache and Carignan on the gravelly slopes above the Domaine @suddefrance @PaysdOcIGPWines @NakedWines

View from the top! @sainterosewine in the cab of the machine harvester picking the muscat at the entrance to the Domaine. Sadly not much fruit in the picking bins #harvest2021 #vendanges2021 #languedocwine #suddefrance #paysdoc #sainterose

The excitement is brewing for our 20th harvest here at Sainte Rose, which kicks-off tomorrow morning! The crop is looking beautiful, although rather on the small side! @DSRRuth

Happy Sainte Rose Day! Today we celebrate the day dedicated to the namesake of our Domaine & look forward to the 2021 harvest, which is likely to start this week. This picture shows the challenges ahead with different levels of bunch maturity on individual vines @sainterosewine

@DYvineyards @sainterosewine France - we haven't come across many wild boar in Kent yet! We got hit very hard by frost down here in the Languedoc - first time in 20 years.

@DSRRuth @sainterosewine Few grapes in the french or Kent vineyard? (I am very nosey 😉)

Surprised dogs on the morning vineyard walk disturbed a 'sanglier' or wild boar, who left footprints in the mud to confirm their presence! We hope they are not eating any of our precious grapes, given how few we may have available to harvest this year @sainterosewine !

As we look towards harvest 2021 at the Domaine, please read our latest blog on the challenges we will face this year @sainterosewine - sainterose.com/update-on-harv…

We are delighted to announce our latest sparkling release, which will be perfect to toast the Bank Holiday weekend! Our Chalklands Classic Cuvée 2018 is an exquisite expression of our terroir, expert winemaking &, of course, the glorious harvest of 2018! bit.ly/SWE_CCC18

Happy #EarthDay2021 Since we were awarded the status of ‘Haute Valeur Environnementale’ a year ago, we have continued to uphold & increase our sustainability commitments, including planting 80 olive trees & introducing beehives to boost biodiversity @sainterosewine
