WINE MAKING PROCESS
Château Mélin Cuvée Revintho is produced using traditional winemaking techniques. Following harvest, the grapes undergo fermentation, potentially utilizing submerged cap methods. The resulting wine is then aged in oak barrels for a period, typically around twelve months, to develop complexity and texture. The estate's vineyards are managed using traditional methods, with a focus on reasoned agriculture. Annual production for Château Mélin is approximately 20,000 bottles, with the Cuvée Revintho representing a smaller portion of this output.
