| Harvest |
By hand, with small crates, between the 10th of September to the 20th of October, according to the variety. |
| Vinification |
Grapes are destemmed and crushed. Fermentation occurs in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks between 25 and 27°C. During fermentation, careful daily pumping-over is carried out (15 to 18 days). At the end of maceration and alcoholic fermentation, the grapes are pressed with a vertical press to extract only the sweetest tannins. |
| Ageing |
After a short period of settling, the wine is racked into stainless steel tanks for complete malolactic fermentation. The wine is transferred, always separately, into French oak barriques (70% used and 30% new), where the wines are aged for 18 months in wood. Finally, the wines are blended and bottled, resting in the bottle for another 12-18 months before marketing. |
| Pairing |
A wine particularly suitable for grilled meat and medium-aged cheeses, it also goes equally well with fish soups and spicy, structured preparations. |
