WINEMAKING

At the reception, the grapes are sorted on a selection table. Traditional maceration for the Grenache and Syrah (20 to 30 days), with daily pumping overs. 20% of the Syrah has been vinified under carbonic maceration. All the different varietals will go through malolactic fermentation in French oak barrels (new and up to 3 year-old barrels). In January we pump out from the barrels for the final blend which will be aged in the same barrels for 10 months.
