WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for Domaine Santa Duc Les Hautes Garrigues begins with meticulous hand-harvesting and sorting of grapes. A proportion of the grapes are destemmed before being fed by gravity into thermo-regulated stainless-steel vats for fermentation, which lasts 20 to 30 days with manual cap management. Malolactic fermentation occurs in vats. The wine then undergoes an 18-month aging period in large oak Stockinger foudres and terracotta amphorae.
