Vinification
The Grenache grapes undergo traditional wine making in stainless steel vats. Daily pumping over allows gentle extraction of the phenolic components.
The Syrah is sometimes not destemmed in order to fully express the power of the fruit aromas from this variety.
Maturing
When the malolactic fermentation has been completed, the wines are blended before going into stainless steel vats in the air-conditioned winery. There, they can spend between 6 to 8 months before the final bottling takes place.
