![]() Red WinesAll bunches are de-stemmed, except in the case of those which are fermented through carbonic maceration. The winemaking techniques used aims at achieving an optimal extraction of flavours and tannins (total or partial carbonic maceration, cold pre-ferment maceration). The reds are fermented at a controlled temperature in a sealed tank, being racked and pumped every day to submerge the cap, allowing the extraction of the polyphenols and aromas. After the fermentation stage the wines are macerated by daily plunging/rack and pumping in order to achieve optimal extraction. A section of the reds are then aged in oak barrels (600L demi-muits, French oak, average toast) for 10 to 14 months. A light filtering is done prior to bottling.

RoséGrape Varieties: Cinsault, Tibouren, Syrah and Grenache Tasting notes: An aromatic and light blend with good acidity. Cellaring: Up to three years. WhiteGrape Varieties: Rolle (Vermentino) and Ugni Blanc Tasting Notes:A crisp wine, balancing alcohol with acidity. Vinification: A combination of mechanical and manual harvesting is carried out. The grapes are left to macerate on their skins for several hours prior to fermentation at a low temperature. The wine is left on its lees for three weeks with regular 'batonnage'. It then undergoes a period of cold stabilization prior to filtering. Cellaring:Up to three years |
