Vinification
Manual grape-picking. The whole grapes are gathered in vats (no crushing, no destemming) for 9-11 days. Controlled temperature: 18-28° C. Cooling after pressing. Maturing in stainless steel tanks. Fining with egg-whites. Natural tartaric stabilizing thanks to the cold winter temperature. Aging in Vat.
Tasting Notes
I love this wine’s expressive blackberry and black-cherry fruit. Lovely and juicy, mid-weight palate with crisp acidity. The tannins that drive the surprisingly long finish are slightly sappy, but this accentuates the freshness. Sustainable – JS
