WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for Château la Rouvière Blanc begins with direct pressing of the grapes. The resulting juice undergoes fermentation in stainless steel tanks, a method chosen to maintain the wine's freshness and aromatic purity. Following fermentation, the wine is typically aged in stainless steel to preserve its varietal character and the influence of its origin. Manual harvesting is employed to ensure the selection of high-quality grapes. The estate's commitment to organic and vegan practices is integral to their winemaking approach, aiming to produce wines that reflect the natural qualities of the vineyard.
