VINIFICATION
The grapes are harvested by hand and sorted when picking
grapes. They are lightly pressed then in a pneumatic press at a
low pressure to get a slow extraction. After a gentle racking of
the wine is put in French oak casks of 228 liters (30% of new
oak) for alcoholic and malolactic fermentation with wild yeasts
for 18 months.

They are aging on fine lees. A month before the bottling, the
wine from the different barrels is put in a stainless steel tank
to make the blend. The wine is finally fined and lightly filtered
before bottling it according to the lunar calendar (“root” day for
the wines for aging).

fruity notes and very much freshness in the mouth.
