WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for Omnia Châteauneuf-du-Pape Rouge begins with destemming the grapes. A cold maceration period of 10 days precedes alcoholic fermentation, which is initiated by natural yeasts and lasts for approximately 10 days. The free-run wine ('vin de goutte') is separated, and the remaining mash is gently pressed. Fermentation and aging occur in a variety of vessels, including wooden barrels, tanks, and cement 'eggs'. Malolactic fermentation is allowed to start naturally. The wine is aged for 24 months in oak barrels from the Jupilles forest. It is bottled directly from the barrel without clarification or filtration, which may result in sediment.
