Winemaking:
The grapes are pressed upon arrival at the winery. We practice a fermentation with a low temperature to keep all the flavours.
We start the alcoholic fermentation in vats to have a regular fermentation, then when alcoholic fermentation is running we put the wine into barrels .
We use only natural yeasts to keep the charm and character of each wine.
Maturing:
In French oak barrels
The malolactic fermentation is performed in barrels with ageing on fine lees
We made a fining to have clearer wine, then we filtered it lightly to remove impurities (a light deposition in a bottle does not alter any taste in the wine )
Bottling in favourable lunar day.
