Wine making:
Harvested at two ripening levels to add complexity, the grapes are hand picked with a larger portion being 100% naturally fermented in barrel and Foudre which adds freshness to the wine. The barrels and Foudre are individually cooled to the optimum fermentation temperature. This allows for slower and longer fermentation that combined with the cooler climate enhances the fruit expression in the wine and good integration between the wine and oak. After fermentation the wine is left on its lees and botonnaged monthly until blending and bottling.
