Winemaking
Immediately upon arrival (20 mins maximum from pick up), the grapes are pressed (pneumatc). Fermentaton in temperature-controlled vats for 4 to 6 weeks using only indigenous yeasts. A complete malolactc fermentaton is carried out in order to preserve the wine’s complexity. Aging 20 % in vats and 80% in oak barrels for 12 months (French oak from Jupille forest, CAVIN cooperage, 10% in new oak), and then 6 months in vats.
Vintage 2019
Despite the poor harvest, 2019 offers excellent quality. Climate hazards (heavy rains in May, frost and drought) have been the cause of record losses for the Estate (more than 40% of harvest). We started the harvest at the beginning of September in order to maintain freshness. This vintage stands out by its remarkable balance and tremendous aromatc purity.
