About the Winery:
Located in the heart of Provence South of France, 10 km north-west of Aix-en-Provence in the small village of Eguilles, Domaine Fredavelle spreads over 23 hectares of vines on the famous rose AOP area of Coteaux d’Aix-en-Provence: a family-run vineyard managed by the two associates and wine lovers David Ravel and Olivia Menigoz.

Since 2022, the winery has been organically certified. Volumes of production increase every year, with more than 150.000 bottles produced, of which 75 % of rosés.
