WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process at Château Héritage involves fermenting grapes in open tanks, a technique chosen to enhance the wine's intensity. The estate cultivates a diverse array of red grape varieties, including Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Mourvèdre, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Cinsault, Carignan, and Tempranillo, which are blended to create their red wines. Some cuvées, like the Family Reserve, undergo aging in new French oak barriques for a period of 12 months, contributing to the wine's structure and complexity.
