WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for Cairanne Les Travers begins with a 100% manual harvest and sorting. The grapes are destemmed, and each variety is vinified separately. Fermentation takes place in vats for about 20 days. Following fermentation, the wine is aged for 10 months, with 70% maturing in vats and the remaining 30% in 3 or 4-year-old barrels. This method aims to preserve the distinct qualities of each grape while integrating them into a harmonious blend.
