WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Clos de la George Grand Cru Syrah undergoes a maceration period of approximately three weeks, followed by aging in oak barrels for 16 to 18 months. The wine is aged on its fine lees, a technique that can contribute to texture and complexity. Harvesting and grape sorting are performed manually. The producer employs environmentally respectful viticulture, focusing on biodiversity and biological control methods, and avoids chemical pesticides and insecticides.
