Apis, or "the bees" in Latin refers to the hives present on Domaine La Luminaille since 2018. The « Apis » Rosé is a blend of 50% Mourvèdre, 25% Cinsault, and 25% Grenache. The grapes are hand-harvested early in the morning to avoid oxidation. They are then gently pressed, fermented at low temperatures with indigenous yeasts, and aged in stainless steel vats until bottling in the following spring. The rosé combines fresh, crisp aromatics with a round, fruity, yet delicate palate and fine tannins.

***

Domaine La Luminaille is located in the “quartier” of Rasteau called “la lumière”. The name comes from the bright glow of the olive tree’s leaves under a full moon. Julie Paolucci is the fifth generation of her family to farm in the quartier of “la lumière”, and it was her father, Jean-Claude, who really developed the family’s vineyards. Today, Julie’s property includes 12 hectares of vines and 3 hectares of olive trees. She returned to the family property in 2014 after working as a sommelier in Paris. Soon after taking over, Julie gained organic certification and she has continued to develop a personal style of winemaking to create unmanipulated and elegant wines.
