Terroir
Volcanic.
The climate is typically mediterranean, warm and sunny with a low rainfall.
Winters are mild, summers are hot and usual drought conditions fully matured the grapes.
Concerning the culture : vines are ploughed.We do not use weedkiller.Pruning is short to regulate the vine's growth and its grapes yields.
The vines shoots are tied up along vires to be given the favourable angle to ripen the grapes.
Vinification
The grapes are picked up by machines at the best maturity. Picked up early in the morning to avoid that warmness oxidises grapes
The stalks are taken off.Maceration lasts up to 13 hours at 7° C. Fermentation is quite long.
The product is stabilised in the cold (- 6° C).
Ageing
Oak fermentation : the wine is barrel fermented.
The wine is bottled at the domain and stocked in piles in an appropriate cellar.
