WINE MAKING PROCESS
The production of Côtes du Rhône La Borde 2021 begins with manual harvesting and selection of grapes. The fruit is then de-stemmed and undergoes fermentation in stainless steel tanks for about 18 days, with temperatures controlled to a maximum of 28°C. During fermentation, pigeage and pump-overs are utilized for extraction. Post-fermentation, the wine is aged in vats for 12 to 18 months before bottling.
