VITICULTURE AND VINIFICATIONPlanted in a soil characterized by shale and granite, the grapes are of an integrated production regime, having been harvested according to their perfect state of maturity. Manual harvest, in 20Kg boxes, and during the night, providing a more careful selection and better preserving the aromas. In the cellar, they passed the selection table where a rigorous selection is made, with entrance to the gravity fermentation vats. Spontaneous alcoholic fermentation. Little intervention in the entire process and low sulphurous content.
AGING8 months in used French oak casks
