WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Carra Pic Saint-Loup undergoes traditional vinification with gentle extraction achieved through punching down in concrete and conical wooden vats. Fermentation is initiated by native yeasts with temperature control. Maceration in concrete tanks lasts for 3 to 4 weeks. Following vinification, the wine is aged for a minimum of 10 months in concrete vats. Harvest is performed by hand or machine, with grapes being entirely destemmed prior to winemaking.
