THE VINEYARD

WINEMAKER: Fabien Gross
PROCESS: The grapes are de-stemmed and crushed followed by skin maceration at cold temperatures of around 4°C. The maceration process, which is carried out before pressing, lasts for 8 hours and enables optimum extraction of all the components in the grape such as polyphenols, anthocyanins, tannins, and resveratrols as well as minerals and aromatic pcrecursors. The aging process involves the infusion of organic grape pips and French oak in order to ensure excellent aromatic complexity
SOIL: Clay-Limestone
