WINE MAKING PROCESS
Château Pech-Latt Vin Doux Naturel is produced using the 'mutage' technique, where fermentation is stopped by the addition of spirit to retain the natural sweetness of the sun-warmed Grenache grapes. The wine undergoes aging in large, neutral oak barrels. The estate's winemaking is guided by a philosophy of organic viticulture and a dedication to preserving biodiversity, aiming to allow the terroir to express itself fully.
