La Vieille Ferme is a hugely successful French wine brand produced by the Famille Perrin (of Château de Beaucastel fame). This beautifully bright rosé is fresh and aromatic with a delicate bouquet and plenty of red and citrus fruit flavours.
Winery notes (2022 Vintage)
"Elegant limpid colour of a subtle pale peach, with shiny reflections. Very fresh and fruity, the nose is particularly attractive with notes of red fruit and juicy summer fruit, bursting with sunshine. The palate is both greedy and full of vivacity with its tasty aromas of red fruit, perfectly balanced by a beautiful freshness. The aromas linger on with a delicate savoury finish.
Located largely in the regional park of the Luberon, on equal distance from Avignon, Aix-en-Provence and Manosque. The average altitude of the vineyard is at 300 meters."
4 ½ Stars & Top 10 Cuisine Rosé Tasting, December 2023 (2023 Vintage)
"This wine has the palest onion-skin colour with a very light-copper tinge. The nose is both fragrant yet subtle and delicate with aromas of savoury herbs, some stonefruit and citrus zest. It’s refreshing and clean with a nice textural mouthfeel and a dry finish."

95/100 New World Wine Awards, Judges Comments (2021 Vintage)
"A modern Rosé from the Rhone Valley in the south of France, the wine exhibits the palest of pink colour with fresh strawberry, lemon candy and delicate floral notes, together with a finely flowing zesty palate. This offers the best of both worlds – traditional charm and elegance combined with modern bright fruit flavours. Delightfully good with goat’s cheese on warm toast."
The Times (UK) (2019 Vintage)
"The best vintage yet of the Perrin family’s extraordinarily popular rosé from the southern Rhône valley is an alfresco humdinger. It’s made by the wine wizard Marc Perrin, who also produces the tip-top Provençal pink, Miraval, and has lashings of easy- swigging, elegant red-berried fruit."
