KNOW-HOW

Long macerations, variety by variety

The grape varieties are vinified and aged separately: 30 days of maceration for the Syrah and 20 days for the Grenache, in stainless steel vats. Working each variety on its own respects its rhythm, as not all grapes ripen at the same time, and allows them to be blended with precision. Maceration, the time when the juice stays in contact with the skins, extracts colour, tannins and a large part of the aromas. The stainless steel vat, perfectly neutral, gives no taste to the wine.
