HARVEST:

The harvest takes place between late October and early November in 5 kg crates. The grapes are manually selected, with multiple passes in the vineyard to ensure optimal ripeness. They undergo an approximately 3-month drying process in a fruit drying room under optimal temperature, humidity, and ventilation conditions.

The process begins with destemming and crushing the grapes using a destemmer-crusher, followed by maceration with the skins for half a day at a temperature of 8°C. The juice is then separated from the skins and undergoes a gentle pressing using bladder presses. The must is clarified at 8°C, and the clear portion is fermented at a controlled temperature of 14°C for approximately one month. The fermentation is halted by lowering the temperature when the wine reaches around 130/140 g/L of residual sugar. The wine is then transferred, free from coarse fermentation lees, into French and American oak barrels for a two-year aging period. Afterward, it is further refined in the bottle for approximately six months.

Golden yellow tending to amber. On the nose Floreal notes, expecially lavander, banana, chamomile, nuts and almond.
