Vinification
The hand-harvested grapes are crushed but not destemmed before being put into traditional concrete tanks for fermentation with indigenous yeast. The mature stems have been kept in order to aerate the must during fermentation, allowing us to naturally maintain a lower temperature of fermentation and bringing different nuances of tannin and acidity to the wine. Maceration of 10- 14 days with pump-overs every 2 days. Matured for a minimum of 12 months in concrete tank before release. Bottled at the Domaine. Minimal sulphite addition. Screwcap has been chosen to retain the purity and freshness of this wine.
