80% Grenache / 20% Aubun.

Aubun is a rather obsure local variety in the Ventoux that brings freshness to the Grenache base. Astrancia is part of Bellivière's second line of wines, Les Arches de Bellivière, created to give them some flexibility amidst a long run of difficult Loire vintages. The vines for "Astrancia" are in Ventoux in the southern Rhône and are farmed biodynamically and range from 10 to 30 years old (same vineyard behind their Les Arches "Raisins Migrateurs" red).

The bunches are harvested by hand into small bins and sent by refrigerated truck to the Bellivière cellar, where they are destemmed and gently pressed into large oak vats; after a brief maceration, some juice is bled off and fermented spontaneously with indigenous yeasts and without sulfur. This deeply colored rosé wine is aged briefly and bottled with a small amount of sulfur.
