Triple sorting: in the vineyard (twice) and in the winery on sorting table Winemaking Grapes are destemmed, put into vat at 12°c during 5 days (cold pre-fermentary) to extract the primary aromas. Indigenous yeasts. Smooth extraction respecting the grape variety, terroir and vintage. Fermentation lasts around 20 days. Tasting notes The bouquet is ripe and fresh, marked by aromas of cherry and raspberry enhanced by spicy notes. In the mouth, the finesse of the fruit and tannins contrasts with concentration and density in the expression of spices. Very nice balance.
