WINEMAKING

Vinification is natural and input-free. The grapes are destemmed, we only do pumpedover, which is a gentle extraction. Temperatures are also measured at 20-28°C maximum. Maceration lasts 3 to 4 weeks to obtain silky tannins. The wines thenmature for 10 months in stainless steel tanks before bottling.

Nose : the nose is clean and expressive. It reveals black fruit aromas of blackcurrantand blackberry. This is followed by sweet spicy notes such as black pepper.Elegance, freshness and fruit.

Palate : a fresh entry with a lovely silky texture. The aromas of black fruits and spicesare followed by a long finish. Delicate, velvety tannins. The finish is marked by aseductive roundness.
