VINIFICATION : 

Harvested with a sugar potential of 15 to 16 degrees, depending on the year. The grapes are transported to our winery in closed tanks. This is where pellicular maceration begins, and pressing is carried out using a pneumatic press.

 Fermentation takes place at a low temperature of 14 to 18 degrees Celsius.

This is only interrupted by the cold when the balance between alcohol and sugar has been achieved (35 to 43 g of residual sugar).

For 4 to 5 months, the wine remains in contact with its fine lees to develop its aromatic notes.
