WINE MAKING PROCESS
The grapes are hand-harvested and mostly destemmed (around 75%). Fermentation occurs spontaneously with native yeasts at controlled cool temperatures to preserve fresh fruit aromas. Minimal sulfur is used, with none added during fermentation. The Grenache portion is aged for 12 months in concrete vats to maintain purity, while the Syrah and Mourvèdre components are aged in neutral French oak demi-muids for 9 months before final blending and bottling without fining.
