WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Antraigue Syrah is produced using a minimal intervention approach. Grapes undergo whole-cluster fermentation with indigenous yeasts in stainless-steel or concrete tanks, with cap management techniques employed. The wine is aged for 18 months in stainless-steel tanks to maintain freshness and fruit purity. It is bottled without fining or filtering and with very low or no added sulfur, reflecting the Rouchiers' commitment to natural winemaking and expressing the unique character of the Antraigue vineyard.
