WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Gérard Bertrand Orange Gold 2021 is produced using traditional methods, with handpicked grapes undergoing semi-carbonic maceration in whole bunches for 10 to 15 days, including extended skin contact. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. The wine is then aged on its fine lees for several months. Some sources indicate finishing in barrels without oak influence. The producer utilizes amphorae for fermentation and aging, a technique inspired by ancient winemaking practices. The vineyard management adheres to certified organic and biodynamic principles.
